leaflet-osm is a Leaflet plugin for rendering vector data from openstreetmap.org.

For example, the openstreetmap.org website could use it to highlight a particular way or node on the base map.

Usage Example

$.ajax({
  url: "http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/node/164979149",
  // or "http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/52477381/full"
  dataType: "xml",
  success: function (xml) {
    var layer = new L.OSM(xml).addTo(map);
    map.fitBounds(layer.getBounds());
  }
});

Well, this would work if openstreetmap.org's API supported CORS. Right now it'll only work if your code is running on openstreetmap.org itself.
