Well. Maybe. This changed caused nodes to not be deleted from my database, 
since I was applying a bbox the change was getting discarded since the 
bbox check failed.

So either the lon/lat *is* needed, or the bbox check should be skipped for 
the delete action. Someone with more smarts than me should decide which 
option is smarter.

This optimisation/problem does not exist in the 64-bit branch that got 
promoted to the current version recently.
