I'm struggling to see its purpose.
The website itself indicates the website is related. Why would someone 
add a website that isn't related?

The only example I could find in your changeset appeared very 
'homemade'. How officially related to subject are these tags?
Do you have a couple of other examples?

Website tags are to link a specific website to a specific object, 
usually created by those in authority of those objects.

If (and it's a very big if) tags relating to an area should be placed 
anywhere, it should be on the boundary of that area.
