[Tagging] housenumber on node and area

[Ross]

Your still missing the point.

Depending on the country, state, area the address does not necessarily 
refer to the building.

In Australia the address refers to the property ie the plot of ground 
that is defined by the cadastral plan.

So those plots of ground may  be 600 sq m or 1,000,000 hectares and may 
have zero, one or many buildings.

Easiest way to plot these is on a node at the access point to the plot 
of ground.

As someone else pointed out a building may have multiple addresses 
particularly when it's on the corner of two streets.

I live near a town of 1500 people.  In the main part of the town there 
are 5 buildings that have two addresses.

All of these have one address on the main street and one address on the 
side street.  The reason is that there are two different entrances to 
two different businesses.

So how are you going to tag that on the building?

By tagging on a node the actual entrances can be marked and it 
accurately maps what is on the ground.

Cheers
Ross
