I'd say the validators are right, because a node that is neither part of a way, nor part of a relation, and has no tags is simply useless: we have no idea why it sits there. If you put a note as a reminder of something, then you should at least put a note tag on it. Maybe most of those empty nodes are remnants from some time ago, when some editors would delete a way, but not the nodes it contained (I think there used to be such a bug, even before I started contributing to OSM). -- Renaud Michel _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
