There is... this is something I'd consider a contentious edit but not *strictly* incorrect.
The author of the changeset should have consulted the US/Canadian community before making it, and if he had done so, would have seen that he should have added an operator= or some other tag indicating that this is a commercial entity as per http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Post_office Personally, I don't agree with this new nclassification, but it's not *wrong* per se, just the way it was done is not the way we (as a community) should be going about such things. - Serge On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 12:43 PM, Eric H.
