But where do you stop. Wikipedia and wikidata are not the only sources
so if they get 'special treatment' then why not some of the other
similar archives? Now if every other archive simply included an OSM tag
... problem solved. But why should we get special treatment the other
way around? We just need a reliable way of identifying POI's that we can
all agree on and then lookup all data with filtering relevant to the
intended use.
