There will be always things in the database that is not on the ground. You'll find many things tagged with "note=experimental, please don't delete this object,..". Or "note=penholder relation, ...", "note=mapping coordination, ...". Unfortunatly a renderer or any other bot cannot read this note messages. Some time ago I've created a draft about such objects: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/osm This would help to differ between real objects and artifitial objects easily. Even if nobody likes that artifitial objects it would be easy to ignore them.
