Why, we're doing that all the time ;-) There are many unsolved questions here. For example: What happens if parts of the "ancient" world transcend your "fourth dimension", e.g. a contemporary secondary road uses a few bits of an ancient Roman road. They would surely share the same nodes, wouldn't they? But if someone then deletes the secondary road (which he downloaded without ever knowing that the Roman road also exists because that was shielded from him), he must not delete the nodes because they are still used by other objects... There has to be a well-thought-out solution for this and I believe this is likely to require every client working with the API to consider such cases.
