[OSM-talk-be] Addresses in Belgium

[Jo]

This is what I would propose:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1919939/history

addr:city, addr:postcode, addr:country, and maybe addr:state, although I'd
prefer addr:province there go in the associatedStreet relation. The name of
the street goes into name. This way it becomes usable in the list of
relations.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/141730010/history

addr:housenumber and addr:street are filled out on the buildings and POIs.

The advantage is that this is workable with a minimal editor on a tablet or
phone, while at the same time reducing tens of thousands of repetitions of
city names and postcodes.

This way the street name is available as name on the ways and the
associatedStreet relations and as addr:street on the buildings and the
POIs. The redundancy that is created this way allows to detect anomalies as
described by Jan-Willem and get them corrected.

A good example is the problem I just fixed, where a street name of a street
in Leuven inadvertently got applied to the houses in Reet. Geofabrik's site
spotted that.
