imho, the initial idea by frederik was that you (as data consumer), when using data for nominatim/mapnik/... should be able to drop all addr:* elements from OSM and use addr from that external data (just as postcodes for US in nominatim are from external data and not OSM) importing into osm is way different area. michal -- michal palenik www.freemap.sk www.oma.sk _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
