I've read articles about it a few times, and for fun I sometimes post my
w3w location on Facebook. But I don't know if it's achieved much traction.
One maps site that I use from time to time, www.streetmap.co.uk,
includes w3w addresses for searching and on its 'convert co-ordinates'
screen, e.g. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/idgc.srf?x=530051&y=179922 (10
Downing Street).
Maybe our search box could do the same, either directly or through
integrating into Nominatim. I wouldn't suggest storing w3w addresses in
the main OSM database though.

Could/should we be doing anything to support/facilitate/implement this
system in OSM?
