Seems to be a bug then:

machine% grep 'way id="4252578"' planet-070228.osm
   <way id="4252578" timestamp="2007-01-27T00:11:55+00:00">
machine% grep 'way id="4252578"' planet-070307.osm
   <way id="4252578" timestamp="2007-01-27T00:11:55+00:00">
machine% grep 'way id="4252578"' planet-070314.osm
machine% lynx -source -auth=... http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.3/ 
way/4252578
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /ruby/api/0.3/multi.rb was not found on this  
server.</p>
</body></html>

Not that it's really important whether I get a 404 or a 410, but this  
way has existed and now gives a 404.

Bye
Frederik
