Where do you stand on URLs that aren't contact info and are 3rd-party
but authoritative?  https://rcahmw.gov.uk/ provides details on monuments
and buildings that don't have heritage status.  I've mapped several bridges,
former religious buildings and the like for which this is the only source
of information about them.

The "OSM is not a gazetteer" crowd may say that this information is
superfluous but the "Is that bridge the one I think it is?" within me
appreciates a little extra detail about whether the bridge has one
span or two.

If we're going to set out rules for what is considered an appropriate
URL, we might need to consider matters a little more.
