Hi,

By coincidence I discovered a recently and unjustly deleted node:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/242086945

Part of the changeset concerning the node:
<delete>
<node id="242086945" lat="52.360876" lon="4.9064347" changeset="1720154" 
user="mvexel" uid="8909" visible="false" timestamp="2009-07-03T12:58:47Z" 
version="7">
<tag k="name" v="ABN AMRO"/>
<tag k="addr:housenumber" v="47-55"/>
<tag k="addr:street" v="Sarphatistraat"/>
<tag k="addr:city" v="Amsterdam"/>
<tag k="created_by" v="Potlatch 0.10f"/>
<tag k="atm" v="yes"/>
<tag k="addr:postcode" v="1018 EW"/>
<tag k="addr:country" v="NL"/>
<tag k="note" v="streetname corrected from Sarphatiastraat to 
Sarphatistraat"/>
<tag k="amenity" v="bank"/>
</node>
</delete>

The bank and the atm is still there so the delete is an error.
I cannot seem to figure out how to undelete it. It doesn't show up after 
clicking on the edit button (on the aforementioned link).  'U' in Potlach 
only seems to show deleted ways not nodes.

If I try a wget for the node I get a 410: GONE error. I was hoping to wget the 
node so I could open it in Josm and then upload it again. I am not a 
programmer but it seems all that is needed is to change the visible="false" 
bit to visible="true".
How does a mere mortal (mapper not developer) handle this without resorting to 
recreating a new node?
