Hi Rob,

Looks fairly comprehensive. My comment is that there is no mention of the
name tag. Although not an addr: tag, this often holds the name of a
building, and I feel some mention should be made about it. All the houses
near where I live have house names and no numbers; the names have been
generally captured in the name field unless the building has some extra tag
such as shop=*.

Cheers,
Mike
