External sites such as Flickr already use OSM IDs, which could be bad when the internal reference is deleted, Flickr may drop the reference as no longer being valid and OSM may look bad for showing a deleted location instead of what the user was expecting. Other examples include osmfuel.org and wikipedia, although these are just the ones I know of and wikipedia/flickr are just the highest profile sites. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
