I guess I could just use algorithms already present in OSM....

Adding, deleting annotating should be easy to do, though DOM manipulation.
Not sure how fast it would be though.

With Freemap I do session-based authentication. When users try and
manipulate the map e.g. add a new feature over AJAX, the server side script
checks that the session exists. So it is possible.
