[OSM-talk] Extending the 'geo:' uri scheme: Adding parameter 'osmid'

[Simon Poole]

Not quite unexpected this discussion has already gone off on a tangent 
about stable ids. My question on the other hand would be: what do you 
actually want to achieve and what would you expect an application to do 
with the parameter?

It should be noted that we already have a couple of URI schemes in use 
for OSM based tools/editors, and naturally the website object/element 
browsing support.
