There is a spec for attaching location in html:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI
see also: http://geourl.org/
vcard has also added the GEO spec:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-vcarddav-vcardrev-11#section-6.5.2
There is also a firefox extension that can read the geolocation in
html. It should be easy to create a firefox extension to open an OSM
map parsing the location from the html.
