Eventually the API has changed (the current workshop was mainly written for
FOSS4G 2011).

There are various ways though to download OSM data, ie:
http://download.geofabrik.de/
http://download.bbbike.org/osm/
http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/open/xapi

So I'm not sure the current API error is temporary. Could be that the XAPI
is not available anymore:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi

If you find a working solution I'm glad to update the workshop.
