[talk-au] Consistent addr:state format?

[cleary]

I think it is still usual practice to have a label node as part of the relation for the boundaries of each suburb. Ideally this label node is placed at the business or residential centre of the area even if it is not the geographical centre.  For example see Hillgrove NSW (near Armidale)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6063586

In this instance the activity "centre" of the hamlet is near one edge of the administrative boundaries. I see the placement of the node as improving the quality of the information in the map.

Check out Nominatim, https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=N&osmid=6496603926&class=place it shows the inherited attributes like suburb, postcode, state.
