Andy,

You're right- I forgot that. I do indeed see that often. People don't
know what the tags mean *even when they're using iD*.

And yes, we could go and try to fix them (and we do) but giving users
a helping hand here would be tremendous.

The other thing I'd love to see in iD (going off topic a bit) is
validation. A simple validation issue I see often is:

"addr:housenumber" = 555-867-5309

That makes sense, of course, but since there are only a few places in
the country that use hypenated address numbers, maybe a little warning
could come up.

The bottom line is just that I think iD is great for people, and I'd
love to see it make mapping easier, and less prone to mistakes.
