<p>Whether it should be in the data is a question that people certainly have opinions on but it's distinct from whether the data browser should link it - there are plenty of other users of the data after all!</p>
<p>The question is, what is the utility of linking it in the data browser given that he data browser is not supposed to be some sort of end user gazetteer. Really the only plausible reason I can think of is to allow people to quickly check that the ID is correct by visiting the link?</p>
