For my use, that proposal is pretty good. However, I'd like to discuss
two points.
1) This proposal will not help the Brussels map, where a similar need exists.
In Brussels they want the default map to show street names in France and Dutch.

+1 for that!!!
I could easily create and store all the canvec2osm created files on my
GoogleApps website www.acrosscanadatrails.com
(as well as the geobase2osm NRN data, which is already being archived on
http://www.mediafire.com)
I would of-course have it all in a single layer, (but better to ha

House-numbers are not at all times numbers. 120b is the string "120b".
Parsing into numbers is only required for the documented
I would have thought that "1 to 500" would be easier to parse into
machine readable digits than "120b"
or does "120b" == "120.2"?

So, as usual, the people writing applications will have to do a little
dance with the people tagging nodes with house numbers.

No, this is not a formal event. I hope people will relax and talk about what
concerns them. The wiki pages are probably the best place if you want to
record something specific.

As I understand the Karlsruhe schema you are allowed to tag
addr:housenumbers with non-numeric characters (e.g: "120b") so there
is no reason you couldn't tag a node "1 to 500" or "1–500".
I suppose you could use addr:housename = "1 to 500" but that seems a
bit counter-intuitive.

Mainly the governments', but probably also yours because you did a lot

Simone,
The ODbL is still a "BY-SA" license but written with databases rather than
creative works in mind ("ODC-BY-SA"). So my opinion is that Frederik's advice
is the right one, it depends on how narrow or wide-ranging the original
authority was.
At the moment, we are simply trying to methodi
