 I can't agree with that. In some circumstances a node can convey additional
 information by virtue of what it is a member of. If a node is a member of
 multiple ways it tells you that the ways join. Nodes that are members of
 relations are also similar.
 


What you’re forgetting is that the ways will either be copyright-clean or will 
be removed anyway.

We (Switzerland and some parts of Germany) have for example started 
more or less systematic remapping of anonymous contributions. There is 
no real hope that a significant amount of this data will be 
re-licensed by the original mappers, and since these objects pre-date 
the introduction of history* (versions), they simply have to go.


Richard Fairhurst pointed out to me that versions actually always 
existed, but were zapped during one of the API transitions. Net result 
is the same.
