[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Houses and other buildings

[rob.j.nickerson at gmail.com]

It's a hugely impressive achievement and all credit to those involved.

If you would like to add addresses but don't have the time to trace all  
buildings, you can make use of addr:interpolation tag. Basically add a node  
for the two houses at either end of a road (or corner with an adjoining  
road) and fill in their numbers (addr:housenumber=) and street  
(addr:street=), then draw a way connecting them and tag the way  
addr:interpolation=even (or odd) as appropriate.

* Example:
