Does OSM maintain a persistent unique ID for every node/way?
Answering my own question, yes.
<node id="26127031" lat="45.7644547" lon="4.8280137"
version="1"
changeset="223034" user="FredB" uid="1626"
visible="true"
timestamp="2007-02-24T17:39:12Z">

<tag k="religion" v="christian" />
<tag k="amenity" v="place_of_worship" />
</node>
And
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_du_Change , which locates the temple
at the rounded 45.764444, 4.827778, thus making it difficult to link the two
points together.
