Would it make sense for Google Maps, Bing Maps, etc to have similar 
schemes under the geo URI scheme? I don't think it would. The only 
reason it even comes close to making sense for OSM is because the users 
see those IDs much more often, and even then I still don't see the value 
in it, with the potential of it causing more problems than it solves.
