This is the focal point of this discussion. Do we want to accept the the 
Open Location Code technology at the OSM community?

It is clear that a plus-code can be converted to coordinates and vice 
versa by a formula. But that does not exist. I tried to enter a plus 
code into search box at the OSM.org, it does not work.

It works at Google Maps, but that village Zeze in Tanzania is not mapped 
yet at the Google Maps at all. But it is well mapped at the OSM.org.
