We now have shortlinks on osm.org, e.g. http://osm.org/go/WKW5SAtP

Can the code which does the expansion into a full openstreetmap.org  
URL look at the Referer: header?  And if the Referer: field is the  
openstreetmap.org page from which the URL was created, show the user a  
page which has the shortlink URL?  I'm at least nominally on vacation  
until SOTM.

Bonus points if you can cause it to be pre-highlighted like tinyurl  
does.

Double bonus points and a free beer at SOTM if we can shortlink to  
Wiki pages, too!
