That is interesting. I like some of it.

However .. do you have to have addr:floor= and level= on all the features?

Would it not be better to have one declared relationship between the two, and then use whatever the mapper finds most convent on the individual features?

The eventual render would then present the user with the add:floor  for their information and use the level= for routing (up/down/same level).
