While we're on this topic, could I urge all of those working on Andy Street's area

to remap all constituent nodes of a way, rather than just the way itself, I've
come across at least 3 users who have re-constructed ways but left Andy's nodes
intact. I'd have thought that remapping the ways but not the nodes would keep the way 
dirty.

Apologies, however, if I've misunderstood here.
   
Yep, a node represents specific unrelicensable location info so unless 
it has been relocated in good faith by a continuing mapper, it should be 
removed. At best, the way will continue to exist but with few points. At 
worst, it will contain zero nodes and no longer exist.
