Mention permanence of linking directly to nodes, ways, etc.
Mention how permanent directly linking to e.g., mighty mountain peaks (nodes) might be, e.g., https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2272280515 .
Mention what happens one day when somebody replaces it with an entirely new node.
Will users see just "Sorry, node #2272280515 could not be found"? If so, then we learn the lesson: never share nodes, ways, etc. as permalinks. Share their coordinates instead.
