So if the diff carrying info about those missing roads had got lost months back, those ways will remain missing on XAPI for ever (or until someone modifies those ways again which would presumably make them appear in a fresh minute diff). If this is so I could imagine it would be a good idea for each XAPI server to (randomly) load itself a fresh, clean planet file from time to time (say once a week or once a fortnight).
