That's wrong, as I've already explained in another message. When you write a letter to an address in Austria using a conscription number, you MUST omit the street name. Otherwise the letter will be returned as undeliverable. Similarly, the official address at a given time either contains a street+housenumber or a conscription number, not both. In villages where street+housenumber combinations are introduced, the conscription numbers become officially invalid. The reason why we want to keep them in OSM is that conscription numbers often remain in use for a long time, and the conscription number plates often stay in place (see photos in the proposals). One other important aspect is that although addr:conscriptionnumber is in use in some regions, it is not documented on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr. That's why all conscription numbers in Austria are mapped as addr:housenumber. We cannot use that key for the street-housenumber and the conscriptionnumber at the same time, so we need addr2 to map both. -- Friedrich K.
