[talk-au] Residential/commercial property boundaries

[Michael Gratton]

So basically there's no consensus about whether property boundaries 
should be included or not, but regardless they  won't get rendered 
anyway.

I experimented by adding some properties and their addresses for a 
couple of streets in around Enmore, and Nominatum was able to find the 
addresses as you'd expect, e.g. searching for "22 charles st, enmore" 
returns <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/389348302>. However also as 
expected no boundary or even house number was rendered.

What a shame. It seems that in lieu of having any buildings marked out, 
using property borders would have been a useful way to indicate 
addresses - also seems more correct than using buildings, to my mind 
anyway.
