[OSM-talk] Permalink with marker

sounds great ...
meanwhile I have solution, which I use always for such a task:
(well, not as easy to use, but very powerful!
- and only for those who know about keys and values :) )

1. http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/
2. on the upper right you put your key: example - amenity
3. search
4. klick the amenity
5. choose a value: example school
6. right of JOSM you see the "TURBO" symbol -> klick
7. on the map ZOOM to the area you have in mind
8. RUN
9. press Share ...
10. copy the link

HTH
