Obtaining a list of items with “tag x but not tag y”

1

I can obtain a list of items with a combination of two tags using the XAPI as follows:

wget http://jxapi.openstreetmap.org/xapi/api/0.6/*[amenity=pub][source=*][bbox=-0.645,52.756,-0.595,52.856]

but is it possible to obtain a list of "tag X but not tag Y" (using either XAPI, or Overpass, or something else)?

Seems like you could use Osmfilter after downloading a .osm file to drop elements with specific tags. I never used it though.

Thanks - that was exactly what I was looking for.
