In addition, the API can also hand out the information required if we query http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/node/10000000/history. (Incidentally - how can a node have only one version and this is deleted? Would one not have to first create the node, making v1, then delete it, making v2?) But making one HTTP request for every single node to find out whether it has been deleted is impractical. We'd have to at least use some common sense to reduce the list of queries we make, and even then, given how unlikely it is, it sounds like a waste...
