[Talk-GB] Envelopes map

[Jez Nicholson]

Nice Overpass query Andrew. In addition I get a few building=apartments +
name=FooBar which I would normally class as okay....or do people use
building=apartments + addr:housename=FooBar ?

I notice that many mappers leave addr:city blank. I assume because they
expect addresses to extrapolate it from the city boundaries + it saves
space on the OSM databases? What do people think, should it be filled in
for all addresses?

On suburbs: in practice i've found them used when there are 2 roads in the
same city with the same name. Can be reasonably common with 'High Street'
etc. and London probably throws up many. However, I don't generally expect
them on non-clashing roads.
