I was thinking about older planet dumps. If I remember, Frederik made
once a complete clean-up, including in older planet files. I guess it
is harder today with so many replication files available (full dumps +
diffs). So 'bad data' are never completely removed from OSM servers.

Yeah. Enhance the osc format is probably the best solution. Btw, is
the 'redaction API' documented somewhere ? I don't see any thing in
the main API wiki doc. Is it hiden because of the possible dammages or
is it limited to certain OSM user accounts ?
