How many nodes in the planet lack a latitude or longitude? Using a MAXINT

It's possible to reduce this to 2-3 bytes, but the format gets
uglier/hackier. IMHO, probably not worth that cost.
I just counted those cases. In the history dump from October 2012 there are
2344 nodes without coordinates. Hardly worth thinking about...
That sounds implausibly low.
Given that
1. every deleted node should be in that file without coordinates
2. we're currently at node id 2.03 billion,
3. there are 1.66 billion visible nodes in the database
we should have something like 370 million deleted nodes.
Hm, we probably have to remove from that number those nodes that were
deleted in ancient times where we've meanwhile dropped the history, and
maybe some from the first TIGER import where we manually removed them
from the database, but still - at least every node deleted in the past
couple of years *should* show up with visible=false in the full history
dump, and any node with visible=false *should* not have coordinates.
Either there's an error in my thinking, or in your count, or in the
script that does the history export ;)
Bye
Frederik
