I don't know much about phyghtmap. If it is an adequate replacement for
srtm2osm and if phyton is already present, there probably is no reason
to use osmosis.

srtm2osm has a parameter -corrxy to shift the contour lines. Without
this parameters they are not aligned with the real heights. Is
phyghtmap handling this correct?

I just suggested osmosis 0.35 because it's a simple alternative for
people who are not able or do not want to install phyton or to change
the source code.

Since none of the two methods is producing valid data in osm 0.6
format, we need a better solution anyway.
