Hello, I wanted to raise a concern about tagging house numbers on a building using a hyphen to denote the address range (e.g 33-55 Main Street). This is a bad idea because some areas in the United States and possibly elsewhere use hyphenated street numbers for individual dwellings.[1] Data consumers see these hyphenated house numbers as one address, as well. Other methods documented here <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Buildings_with_multiple_house_numbers> work better, in my opinion.
I hope to get some input on this issue and the best path forward. Best, Paul [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens#Streets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Lawn%2C_New_Jersey#Grid-based_address_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address#United_States
