[talk-au] Address tagging guidelines for Australia

[Ross Scanlon]

I'd suggest you check this page

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr

You'll see that the addr:country is supposed to be:

"The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two letter country code in upper case."

We are talking addresses not is_in.

Also addr:state can be either but it tends to be the abbreviation.

Cheers
Ross
