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

[Sander Deryckere]

I don't really like this. The problem isn't putting this tag on all
existing stops. The problem is communicating this to non-members of this
list.

I think openlinkmap and other data users should in the end know that
operator="De Lijn"+ref=x0xxxx translates to the url mijnlijn.be/x0xxxx.

It's easier to patch their software than to learn all mappers what to put
in the url tag.

Just my opinion though.

Regards,
Sander.
