If a business *publishes* a mailing address, then that seems reasonable, but it also seems to be veering into OSM as a database of businesses vs a map. But I can see the point that the mailing address of a business is not so different from the website URL and phone number. > But I would caution against adding this to private house features, due > to privacy laws in some countries. Agreed. At best it would be highly rude, and I think it's important not to have a general perception bythe world that OSM is rude. Many people seem to think that anything they can find out should be published, and I think mappers need to ask themselves what should be published. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
