I think one mapping practice with contact:* could help . 1- addr:* tag space is for generic addresses, used by all consumers
2- if there is ambiguity between adresses (postal, physical, ...) then use several namespaces 2a - addr:* tag space for physical address (used by geocoding, routing, ...) 2a - contact:addr:* space for contact (postal) address (used for detailed information about one POI) if 2a is not suitable, consider any of: physical:addr vs [contact|post|postal|snailmail]:addr -- althio On 18 December 2017 at 20:43, Simon Poole <si...@poole.ch> wrote: > > > Am 17.12.2017 um 21:22 schrieb Warin: > > As they are not related to a physical address then why use the address > space? > > The addr tag space is for postal addresses, that are not guaranteed to be > physical at all (for example addr:city is the postal city, which might be > completely un-surveyable). > > That is not really a problem, the problem is more that we don't have a > scheme for non-postal addresses. > > Simon > > > Possibly the contact space? contact:mail:postcode=* > > ----------------- > I believe 1800 numbers cannot be used internationally, so I don't use the > ISD codes, that OSM requests, with these. > > > > On 18-Dec-17 12:36 AM, José G Moya Y. wrote: > > Do you mean PO box?
