Ways only? Because the output data/list format is different. Nodes are 
arranged by objects per co-ordinate, whereas ways are by an ID that 
includes a nodes list, with a separate co-ordinate lookup table for 
those nodes. My entire workflow is co-ordinate based, Bing etc overhead, 
geoencoded ground level photos, plus an audio/voice annotation, so I 
need a list of objects by that key. On top of that I use simple tools to 
filter the list for specific tags, most often informal=* being missing.
