I guess this ceased to be useful when everyone moved from *.osm.bz2 to a 
'native' binary format (*.osm.pbf or *.o5m).

I used to have a pipe like this:

bzip2 -dc < file.osm.pbf | perl -e '...' | java -jar splitter.jar ...

I do not mind dropping the ability to read from standard input.

Best regards,
