Does the process of applying minutely updates only work when the

Is it possible to do this on extracts?
Yes (use the bounding box filter on osm2pgsql), but there will be some
fuzziness around the edges. I forgot what exactly it was, but there will
be some cases where a node is moved from the inside to the outside or so
where things foul up.
This is one point. It can be solved by using a slightly larger bounding
box than required.
More annoying is that the ways and relation tables grow. This is due to
missing checks for their geometry against the bounding box.
I still believe osm2pgsql can be extended to handle this. It will slow
down the import as it needs to do additional checks.
I was too lazy to investigate this further. I run a cleanup from time to
time to do the job.
I have the feeling the cleanup uses less resources than the overhead
generated by checking the geometries on every update.
You can find the cleanup queries here:
