To the API, a way is something abstract that refers at least two nodes. 
What these are, and where they are, is of no concern to the API, so if I 
am not totally mistaken, all of your cases could be present in the database.

It used to be possible to have ways with less than 2 nodes also but I 
think that is not the case any more.
