The Script is already looking if there is a place which is:
* near by and 
* have the same name


If it found such a node it  merge the OSM and the OpenGeoDB Node.
To do this, the bot use osmxapi with [place=*].

If you look to "Example Data" on
http://svenanders.openstreetmap.de/opengeodb/
you would see nodes with postive IDs (that are nodes used by OSM) and nodes 
with negativ IDs (that are new nodes).
