The phone number can already be added to objects, but at this point in time there is no ID permanence, which would be useful.

This isn't supposed to be a navigational aide, it's an ID permanence aide, something that can't be done at present with OSM and which can be detrimental for sharing objects from OSM with other 3rd parties, for example the osmfuel.org site uses OSM IDs for fuel locations, but these IDs can change at which point the new ID will need to be found so the information can stay cross referenced. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
