Do you have any safeguards against POIs which do not exist any more and
whose domains are owned by domain sellers now? They often have a very
basic website with a message like "This domain is for sale." and some
advertisement. I would not be surprised if they support HTTPS (and maybe
HTTPS only) these days. Update website=* and similar tags would not be a
benefit to OSM but simulate some kind of up-to-dateness.

Best regards

Michael
