+1, at least if they are older than some days/weeks. If someone is doing a very big upload it might be (dependant on the way he structures the upload) that he is first uploading nodes and only later the ways. That's why I wouldn't delete recently created empty nodes.
We've had several cases today, where people came swooping in and deleted nodes from an ongoing upload, where the ways hadn't been uploaded yet. Okay, it happens, wish JOSM would sort the upload on object locality[1]. In this case it was just a mapper that didn't know what that 'field of nodes' was all about.
Then there was another, where someone came in about 40 minutes after a botched upload, while the uploader was still trying to repair this and attempting to reuse those nodes where possible, and started his script to 'helpfully' delete those 'duplicated nodes'. I just wish those scripts would only process nodes that have been idle for a few days, and not very fresh ones.
