Can you post some typical examples? I did a search and found far less empty relations than you did: select id, tags from planet_osm_rels where # parts = 0 GROUP BY tags, id 2939 rows retrieved. And this still contains empty relations referenced by others. By looking at the tags a huge amount is from boundary import. Others look like it was just a user deleting ways but not the now empty relation or adding a relation but not adding members. It's easy with JOSM. Create a relation and upload. Not even a warning. See here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/215650 I will reuse this empty relation to tag an island by adding members later. In this state it's for demonstration of empty relations. About mass delete: I'm not sure about this on relations. Some of them are just a few hours old. Maybe the older ones not being referenced by anything. Reason would be no one could work with them without knowing their ID. The editors can not retrieve them.
