<h1>Reader for OSM binary format
</h1>
<p>There are a number of binary formats, this format is Markus Webers
o5m format.
</p>
<p>The format is a storage format designed to be quicker and smaller than the
XML format but preserve the element ordering and features of that format.
We can therefore pretty much re-use most of the code that is used for reading the
XML format.
