How about
phantom: .. ? Some of these may be deliberate so the copyright holder 
can easily identify copies of their data. As such they are not errors 
but deliberate.

I see no harm in leaving them in OSM. Untill something is built there or

it only when new features take its place, so the new features are not 
confused by the past.
