[Talk-ee] Maa-amet Tase 6 (maaüksuse nimi) – addr:place või addr:housename?

[SviMik]

It should be added to all buildings then if you want to use it in that way. I can do that too, but we need some agreement on this. Either we use it or not, or use it in some particular cases (then we need to decide in which cases).

My idea was to use addr:country=EE along the border only (10-20km). That would help to resolve the ambiguity when people extract countries by a simplified .poly outline (it's always a simplified one, because the true Estonia border cosists of 10335 nodes).

Other options would be to either use it everywhere, or to remove it completely.

Leaving things in a chaotic state because people can't decide is probably the worst option. Any other option would at least have some thoughts behind it and explanation why it's done in that way.

What's the global practice with this tag? The only thing I've found in wiki is:
"Using addr:country=*, addr:state=*, and addr:province=* are optional, since they can almost always be determined from boundary relations."

Taginfo doesn't help either:

I don't know what to make out of this.
