Does the phrase "you consider your edits to be in the Public Domain" has any
real meaning? Can somebody download data which are only edited by PD minded
people from the main OSM database and use those for any purpose?

If the answer is yes then changing your mind should only be possible for new
edits and by creating a new user account. Somebody may already believed you and
started to use data as PD. However, I suppose that checking the PD box is only a
declaration and will not really allow anybody to use parts of the OSM database
as PD. Thus it would not harm anybody if you could change your PD considerations
whenever you want.
