[OSM-dev] Using the API for authentication only

As part of the OpenLayers Vector-based editor (see last week) I'd like to use
the API simply for checking whether a supplied OSM username and password is
valid.
At the moment I do this by asking the API for an arbitrary way (ID 1) and then
checking whether the HTTP code is 401. However this is not the most efficient
or elegant way of doing it. Is there any way I can just do an authentication
without doing any database queries?
Thanks,
Nick
