Ways consisting of only one node are not useful. Edits creating or truncating to such ways are either ill thought out mapping or editor bugs. In either case mappers would be better off being told that an edit has gone wrong instead of putting a doubtful way into the database, possibly replacing something useful. In particular, it would have caught my recent JOSM edits that curtailed ways to the edge of planet dumps without me realising it.

Those kind of checks really need to be implemented in JOSM (and other editors) first, otherwise a user will upload their changeset only to find out to there's an issue with a single node way. At this point, there's no way moving forward.

Closing here as this is also on the API 0.7 list.
