<div>Yeh-buts .... eat carrots ... i know :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This address 'block' information can be found on Street signs. So it IS actual map data... </div>
<div>Yes, the way OSM currently has it is fine, AND this could be rendered ..'in addition too'. As shaded, a little larger than the numbers, and in the middle of the block.</div>
<div>,,, and yes i know i can enter the address:block info for a few streets around here, and make my own stylesheet for it.... (a little learning curve, but i know it's possable) :-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>.. so why not? ... or is it that the community just 'doesn't like it' and an unspoken 'hushhhhh falls over the croud when those forbidden words are spoken'? .... just as someone saying "Why cant i trace Google Maps?',, and the veins pop out... lol :) (FYI i'm joking, Richard)... :-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Eithor way, im cool with it, just like an answer if one is found. Otherwise, i'll make a wiki-proposal. .... but not now...</div>
