I'll point out that it has been common practice almost since the
project began for some of us to use two or more nodes at the end of a
stub way to denote unfinished work. For instance I use this method a
lot to denote a footpath going off a road that I haven't walked yet.
Mostly I don't bother to tag those nodes. I certainly would not want
these markers deleted.
