I will make my point clearer. It isn´t the houses with adresses that will be tagged, it is the Reference_point itself.
A street with 20 houses. *The street: highway=residential and name=Big_Street *The twenty houses have each addr:housenumber=1..20 and addr:street=Big_Street An area with 20 houses using Big_Tree as reference point. *The reference_point: reference_point=yes and name=Big_Tree *The twenty houses are not covered by the proposal I wanted to show that a reference_point is to be compared with the name of a strett. addr: then relates to that street, it soen´t tag the street itself. p.s. If one would reuse the addr: scheme for the houses: addr:meter=10..200 addr:ref_point=Big_Tree d.s. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
