[Talk-br] Tagging blocks in brasilia

[Alex Barth]

addr:block=* is more for buildings, just like you wouldn't use addr:street=* on a street, right?

Main discussion is on 'tagging' group btw, I just tried to summarize a conclusion here, I invite everyone to weigh in: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2012-April/009893.html
