One of those itches to be scratched that have been discussed elsewhere ... Do we really need to add 'addr:street=Talbot Lane, addr:hamlet=Weldon, addr:suburb=Ebbsfleet Valley, addr:city=Swanscombe,' to every object on the street? addr:postcode=DA10 1AZ provides that data and more besides and only needs augmenting with a house name/number for an address. With all the other data manipulation tools being discussed, one which provides common data for an object is long overdue. Looking at the long format, should it not also include addr:country=United Kingdom so that one knows just how to validate the postcode anyway ... although I am tending towards addr:postcode:UK=DA10 1AZ so that one can pick up the correct secondary data easily ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
