[Tilesathome] Inconsistent data from OSMXAPI

[Brent Easton]

I am seeing inconsistent data being returned by OSMXAPI when doing lowzooms. Ways are referencing nodes that are not included in download. When you go an view the actual data, that node no longer exists. This seems to indicate that it is some sort of timing issue. The end result is that Batik crashes trying to render the lowzoom tiles.

Is this a known issue? I am presuming the planet.osm dump is inconsistent.

Where should we look at solving this problem :-

1. Planet.osm dump is inconsistent, fix that?

2. Fix OSMXAPI to not emit nodes in ways that have not been included in the download file?

3. Have Osmarender ignore undefined nodes? Is this possible with XSLT?

Thanks,
Brent.
