OK, I'm game:  let us say it is a node with an amenity and name tag
attached.  Let us also say that the positioning is absolutely accurate, for
the sake of the cases.  Let us say my goal is to maintain the node, in the
same place, and to add international names and more information over time.
 These are heritage objects, for the most part, not commercial locations.

So, I post it to OSM, and then it is changed.

Change case 1.  Someone moves the node, changes the name, changes and the
amenity tags (new, different amenity value)
Change case 2. Someone deletes the node, and then someone else adds it
again in a slightly (100m) different position

How do I know/get-notified it was changed?
Specifically, how would you setup a system to receive notification that the
object was changed?
Have you done it?  Do you have some scripts to share?  (Can I please NOT
have to add a relation?)
We are talking about many thousands of nodes, btw.

Oh, btw, should we be busy stripping out all the USGS GNIS tags?  Of course
not, so, I am new to this, and I spend a lot of time on OSM, but I really
don't know where to start with scripting tracking for thousands of nodes
that might get a new unique ID every other week.

Where do I start?
