<div>The URLs are not stable either, so you can't
really use them for links. People don't use the
possibility to be warned when a link dangles, there
are plenty of blind links, and yet that link system
is used intensively.<br>

<div>Are you saying that URLs like <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/azw">http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/azw</a>
are discarded after awhile ? I didn't know that. I've
bookmarked several queries like that, so I need to find
another way to keep them.</div>

No. Not particularly speaking of that. I don't know if/when they
discard and I myself don't wonder because I simply use the expanded
or clear request. This is the same as your example.<br>

I was saying that the Web is crowded with invalid links, that people
are happy with that fuzzy situation and that, unlike what you said,
a few wrong IDs, much less than wrong links, do not make using IDs a
wrong method.<br>
<br>
FYI, I once wrote an improvement to a Wikipedia page. A
self-appointed vigilante came down on me and accused be of
self-research (what I wrote was as verifiable as 1+2=3). I was
requested to add a link to a page saying 1+2=3. I replied that what
I said could be proved, and that, of the existing 3 links in the
page, 3 were incorrect.<br>
The Internet is full of contradictors.<br>

Cheers
