Presumably nothing will happen, since there is no easy way of 
identifying these. So this is an easy loophole - if you see any red 
nodes that represent points of interest, replace them with building 
polygons and copy the tags. (In fact I just did this the other day 
(though I have no idea if the node was red) before realizing this might 
cause problems, and I will continue to do it after thinking about it and 
realizing that it's been common practice for quite some time.)


What I'm more concerned about is linear features. There has been a 
significant amount of dualling, adding bridges, and other realignment by 
mappers who have not agreed to the CTs. Reverting will not only remove 
these improvements, but will also vandalize any subsequent changes (e.g. 
ref, lanes, hgv, sidewalk).
