Although I am not 100% sure if that's how they are classified in PAF. >> Dependent Thoroughfare Descriptor 20 >> Thoroughfare Name Street 60 addr:street >> Thoroughfare Descriptor 20 >> Locality Double Dependent Locality Small villages 35 >> Dependent Locality 35 >> Post town 30 addr:city > >Firstly, addr in OSM is generally postal, not geographical.

We can infer addr:country and addr:county from admin areas but everything else should be _possible_ to tag. >Secondly, in practice the only parts of the address you need are the >detailed destination point code and the post code.

Sometimes people will want extract the full address from OSM, sometimes they will want to search for a part of it. Even if someone is searching for a house number and a postcode alone it is useful to see if e.g. a street name of the result matches expectations.
