Hi Jim,
nice idea. The code could also be reused for the revert scripts in case
some Teleatlas data has to be removed aagain.

I'm not sure about this. At least on the node level it should be changed.
If a node is moved then this is a combination of two actions: First
delete old coordinates second insert new coordinates.
So there is nothing left from the previous coordinate that needs to be
removed. Even the information that there is an object is implicitly
inserted again by the new editor.
From the algorithmic POV:
reset the geometry to 0,0 (or some other magic number). Then apply
subseqent geometries.
In case at the end the geometry is still 0,0 remove the node (with its tags)
o If the object has a newer geometry use the newest geometry available
o If the object has no newer geometry but a prior version, take the
prior version
o If the object does not have other geometry information, then it is
probably lost to the db along with its tags.
