I'd have probably gone for a simple URL scheme like:

/p/<name>/<osm-id>/

Adding the OSM id makes them slightly longer, but otherwise meets the broader objectives though is quite a bit less fun to solve ;-)

note: OSM id are not promised to be perfectly stable

for example something mapped as a node may be remapped as an area (closed way)

Isn't this kinda like what3words?
