[talk-au] Tagging "boundary" roads with addr:*

[Ewen Hill]

Hi Graeme and happy new year,
   How much can you datamine from a suburb:left , suburb:right ? I would
suggest suburb polygons and street names only which would cover all
eventualities and allow for the change in the suburb area without having to
touch each road affected
