 My understanding is that, when a way is deleted, all of its nodes are
 deleted unless they are part of other ways or are tagged with further
 information. That rule appears to be followed even if the only tag on a
 node is 'odbl=clean'. I deleted a way (a short footpath) that contained
 several nodes marked odbl=clean. After deleting the way, several isolated
 nodes remained, each tagged with 'odbl=clean' and no other tags. It would
 be easy to fail to notice these nodes and to leave them in place, thus
 increasing the size of the database without adding anything to the map.
 I was using the default editor (Potlatch 2 in-browser) running on Firefox
 under Windows XP.
