Nice! Having something like the metro extracts would be great.

@Caged metro extracts are awesome! Along with some other features, like https://github.com/maxogden/dat/issues/112 and supporting bounding-box filtered replication, you could essentially create your own ad-hoc metro extracts which are replicated on a continuous basis!

Here's my very first dat tool: https://github.com/astro/dat-osm-import

@astro nice! maybe me and @mafintosh can think up a way to add a feature to dat so that you don't have to require('dat') in your code (to keep things decoupled)

But I use the dat API so I need to depend on it. The alternative would be serializing as JSON to stdout. Piping this to dat which then deserializes the JSON is just unnecessary overhead.

Given that OSM elements come with their own integer version counters, would it make sense to create a dat-backend that serves from .pbf files?
