Those things shouldn't be in OSM either. They make it harder for people to
map and are out of date the moment the data is converted. If you want to
see this information on a map, it's available from the original source for
you to add to your own map. It's the same sort of data that can not be
improved by the community, so It doesn't belong in OSM.
