That's lovely - more please.  But for 5000 nodes?

Don't delete it, just hide it?  i.e. That particular node URI would still 
work, but that node wouldn't be returned with requests for *current* map 
data.

How's it dealt with in the database?  For that matter, how does versioning 
work in general, and what were your thoughts on exposing editing history on 
openstreetmap.org?
