[Tagging] Why addr:state rather than is_in:state? (response to 2010-12-26 05:29:46)

[Robert Elsenaar]

Totally agree. More over, every time you use the symbol ":" in your tag, you 
mean that the subtag is telling something more specific about the maintag 
thats in front of it.
This methode should be introduced more widely all over OSM to avoid annoying 
new and unnesseccerry tags or values.

(from ceyockey) I am of the opinion that "addr:state" should only be used in 
the context of an address, not as a standalone synonym for "is_in:state", 
meaning that I support the use of "is_in:state" for routes.

Many route relations use addr:state to describe what state the route
is in. Should a tag intended for addresses be used this way, or is
is_in:state a better tag to use?
