Thomas, I'd caution against placing nodes every mile and tagging them
highway=milestone unless there's something more notable about them. Mile
markers could be computed from the length of the way and all the extra data
might not be useful.

Happy to hear others' opinions on this, though. My opinion was formed
several years ago when we talked about mile markers next to interstates
(and I can't find a link to it...).
