<p>I think the arguments against have not been heard, I try to summarize</p>
<ul>
<li>avoid having to work each time the link changes or each new request like -> could be solved with a PR externalizing the "osm tag -> web link" code as <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/grischard/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/grischard">@grischard</a> suggests</li>
<li>the links on osm.org are made for a return to the contributor. therefore saying that it allows access to a text of more than 255 characters makes no sense. reading the full content of the plate does not help the osm contribution. this is for the end user.</li>
</ul>
<p>PS: It's a very ugly tag for a ref</p>
