No worries, I'm still very actively working on it, so expect changes.

In the current codebase, I do use `addr:unit` for UNIT, SHOP, SUITE. At https://gitlab.com/alantgeo/vicmap2osm/-/blob/master/lib/filterSource.js it lists which building unit types we use, the others I'm just not sure about so have left out like Carspace, Boatshed, ATM, Gate, Room etc.

When I said in the documentation that this information is omitted, I meant the unit type eg. if it is a Unit, Flat, Shop, Suite is omitted, the actual unit value is retained (into addr:unit).
