The problem with url=* is (as per my talk page comment) that you can tag the camera as contact:webcam (or whatever, as said I don't like it either, I'm just using it), while you may tag the operator's website as contact:website without causing any confusion. If you only had a single link in url=*, how would you know whether it is for the operator or for the camera stream?
