approach that I presented as a way for OSM.be to make
money.<br>
For each "customer" or usage, a POI list is built that
contains the IDs of the OSM elements + icon URL.<br>
The server whose task is to display the map + POIs can
fetch the list from any URL.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://server"

As you know, the ID of OSM elements is not stable, so you
can't really use them in queries.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Is this similar to creating an Overpass
Query with some mapcss and share that link ?</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">I'll agree that creating the Overpass
Query might be simplified with e.g. picking POIs from a list.</div>

The list approach is for s.o. to show their selection: all shops X,
municipality shops..., nearby bus stops, whatever?<br>
Such a list needs maintenance, the POIs are changing much more often
than the IDs and there can be warnings.<br>
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>
