 The database and API allow it, although the frontend does not have this 
 feature yet.
 From the backend (admin site, eg: /admin) you can verify that other 
 geometries are allowed for nodes.

 This could satisfy your need:
 http://docs.nodeshot.org/en/latest/topics/nodes.html#nodeshot-nodes-hstore-schema

 Here's an example usage:
 https://isp.namex.it/#nodes/telecom-italia-spa

 The point of interest has many fields that are specific to ISPs.

 Also this feature is present in the backend and API but not in the 
 frontend yet.

 There's an option here:
 http://docs.nodeshot.org/en/latest/topics/nodes.html#nodeshot-nodes-published-default

 Which allows a node to have published = 0 by default.

 Although I haven't tried it with real users yet.

 Nodeshot has a HTTP RESTful API, it also returns GeoJSON.
 You can build any user interface or mobile app with it.
 But there's no mobile app out of the box.
