The format is stable, but I want to release one more RC, with a full validation before I declare it stable. I expect no incompatible changes.

Is this the binary format in discussion: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSMbin(file_format) I had trouble finding the right description. There seem to be a few other "binary" format projects, apparently primarily intended for mobile applications. (And the link in Scot's original e-mail to this list is sadly broken.) Cheers.
