</span>This particular proposal seems to be a terrible solution to this<br class="">
problem. It requires changes to the software, and the tagging scheme<br class="">
is ugly as hell. At the same time, there's much simpler and better<br class="">
solution: placing address nodes inside the building polygon. This is<br class="">
already used, supported by any sort of software which can process<br class="">
regular OSM address tags, and it's not as ugly as addrN:.<br class=""></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">With addrN:*=* it's clear that the same place has two addresses. If there are two nodes, it seems like there are two places (Two entrances, two apartments, two rooms), each with it's own address. AddrN* is clearly superior in this aspect. <br class=""></div></div><br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>+1 Why have two pins for the same (exact) place. If this was the case that a building had multiple addresses because it had multiple named locations or multiple names entrances or whatnot, such as two offices or two gates, then yea, two pins would be appropriate. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. </div><div><br class=""></div><div> This seems to be a a single building that itself has two contrasting addresses. why tag the same thing twice? that seems counter-intuitive. We already have like what, how many different name fields and alt names and official names and everything - but addr2 requires a split - though it’s the same address for the same place in the same location? </div><div><br class=""></div><div>Especially if this tag is already in use in regions where this unique thing occurs - lets document it so it doesn’t get out of hand or get fragged so support for it becomes truly PITA. </div><div><br class=""></div><div>Javbw</div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">
