   @mk @arunisaac #What3Words has the usual dangers that if the service provider disappears then so do all the coordinates described by the words. So yes, the algorithm with all the words (in every language used) is needed, or a comprehensive list of all coordinate tiles and their associated words.

     @mk @arunisaac But what's wrong with the !OSM Shortlink? (aside from its ugliness and lack of mnemonic value) It's well documented, and easily reproduced by other developers. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shortlink

     @mk I agree with everything, except that the !OSM Shortlink has resolution much finer than 3m, and a pointer is easily added by appending ?m eg. http://osm.org/go/0GXM0u199?m (where my grandparents lived) /cc @arunisaac
