[OSM-talk-be] replace ref on stops De Lijn with mijnlijn.be/x0xxxx

[Wim Crols]

I would suggest the following

Leave ref tag as it is "ref=x0xxxx"
Put in url tag the following "http://mijnlijn.be/"

And make a software patch for openlinkmap to show the correct link on
existence of the following tags
   highway = bus_stop
   operator = De Lijn
   ref = 303119
   url = http://mijnlijn.be/
