Select some street parts, building outlines and nodes. Press the button to create a new relation and add them. Then add the properties to the relation. That really doesn't take longer than adding those properties directly to the elements themselves. Of course, I always have the relation overview window opened.<br>
<br>Adding the roles is an extra step, but it's not a great loss if you would omit them and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody would add a feature to JOSM which assigns those roles automatically.<br><br>Thanks Martin for changing the spec!<br>

</div><br>You seem to imply that relations are faster / less manual work<br>
requiring when entering addresses manually with one of the OSM<br>
editors, but from my own experience they require at least the same<br>
(manual) work, if not more.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br></div>+1<br><br>It couldn't be easier (in JOSM at least) to select a bunch of buildings and add the tags once. If you use a relation you must create it and add the members + tags to it so it is hard to see how that can ever be easier for the mapper which is generally what OSM is all about.<br>
