[Talk-ca] address:block

[Sam Vekemans]

* a first brainstorm

This is a proposal for  the tag address:block=#

The purpose is to tag what the house numbers are.
In Canada, the address block # is posted directly on the street sign.
Usually in increments of 100, so it tells the map reader which part of
the road they are on.

Rendering:
looking similar to how the 'ref=#' tag is used on highways to show
distance, this would be a smaller font as its only on a closer zoom
that it should be shown.

Data import:
usually, the 'address:house number:first left would be it. - (perhaps
a script could be written to detect the lowest number, then round to
the lowest 100) (out of the 4 fields available)
