This is a good observation. I hadn't thought of that at all and have 
reverted the change in question for now. (The best solution would 
probably be to assume that a node is at -999,-999 if it has no 
coordinates or so but I wasn't sure if that would have any side effects.)

Applying bboxed diffs in slim mode is a bit of a problem anyway since it 
will fill up your _ways and _rels tables with objects outside your bbox 
(issue discussed here several times) and you'd have to run a delete 
command every so often to get rid of them.

An oversight on my part, I should have added that to the branch too. But 
now it saves me the revert ;)

Bye
