 Replying to [comment:3 lonvia]:
 > Working around Nominatim bugs this way might get you into trouble with
 your fellow mappers. I've invalidated the area now. Street should be
 correct for the houses around Reinier Roeststraat.

 Thanks for invalidating this area. The street is correct now.
 Is there a way to prevent this in the future? Do you recommend adding
 addr:street tags as well? Were working on a procedure for semi-
 automatically importing (mostly updating) buildings using data from a
 government provided database. We're using .osm files in Josm to accomplish
 this.
