[OSM-talk-ie] Consolidating address fields

[Colm Moore]

Hi,

The following tags are currently used for addresses. Even with the, eh, variation :) available in Irish addresses, I think there could be some consolidation.

Current tags in use:
name=* (building, business, etc.)
addr:name=*    
addr:housename=*
addr:housename:en=*    
addr:housename:ga=*    
addr:housename:it=*    
addr:housename:source=*    
addr:housenumber=*
addr:housenumber:source=* 
addr:unit=*
addr:apartments=*
addr:flats=*
addr:floor=*
addr:terracename=*
addr:street:en=*
addr:street:ga=*
addr:hamlet=*
addr:subdistrict=*
addr:district=*
addr:place=*
addr:suburb=*
addr:townland=*
addr:postal_district=*
addr:postcode:loc8=*
addr:village=*
addr:town=*
addr:city=*
addr:city:ga=*
addr:county=*
addr:county:ga=*
addr:province=*
addr:country=*
addr:inclusion=*
addr:interpolation=*

I've partially consolidated the following:
addr:full=*

I've fully consolidated the following:
addr:door=*
addr:coounty=*
addr:terrace=*

See http://stat.latlon.org/ie/latest/tags-a.html for the stats. The site doesn't track 
name=*
name:en=*
addr:housenumber=*
addr:street=*

----------------------

Separately, addr:city=* has the following issue (aside from villages with six pubs and one shop being labelled cities. ;)
