But establishing a "standard" to do it would likely exert pressure on 
mappers not to do anything that would change an ID (I am imagining pink 
warning boxes on the wiki explaining that you should avoid this or that 
because it will cause lots of dangling links from the outside into OSM).

You're currently doing at your own risk and if it doesn't work then you 
have no right to complain. Once we encourage people to create such links 
from outside applications that are unknown (and might be inaccessible) 
to us, these people will complain when links break.

Bye
Frederik
