+1, but using existing code once (plus glue code), maintained by others, prevents the creation of other requests (the answer, if the question is raised, would be to put the request on the other project).

@tomhughes is not willing to implement that, in a do-ocracy, he is absolutely right.
The issue is more if a PR is made, will it ever be merged? It took nearly 5 years for this [PR](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/834) to get merged. I can't find it, but if I remember right Tom told us it got lost in the cyberspace. So I can understand people got cold feet.
BTW, I disagree to the statement that hyperlinks in osm.org (except the explanations for tag and values) shouldn't belong to osm.org. Querying the database could be restricted to connected contributors and enabling those links helps contributing. IMHO, that would reduce greatly the risk of creating a "end user gazetteer".
