[talk-au] POI - address details

[Sebastian Spiess]

Hi list,

this question originates from the discussion about the NSW address
import, see here:
https://gitlab.com/dionmoult/osm-nsw-address-import/issues/7

My view is that addresses are more than just the Street name and house
number (plus Unit number).

When I put POIs on the map I also add City, postcode and state - the
full address.

I understand that this information might be redundant as the city or
suburb boundary is 'passing' it down, however to me the address is
incomplete for the POI.

When using data consumers they do not necessary pass down the city to
the POI and it will be missing in their listing, e.g. when searching.

What are the views here?
