[talk-pr] Old San Juan Fieldwork I'll be doing

[Jeff Haack]

For buildings, street address is good too, for address searching.  It
should be pretty obvious of course, except on corner buildings.  I
generally think that collecting the number of floors of a building is
enough (building:levels tag), because the height can be extracted with
reasonable accuracy from that, although I'm not sure which attribute that
3d buildings thing uses.

For streets, surface type could be interesting - there's an interesting mix
in Old San Juan of asphalt, concrete, and cobblestone.

I've started mapping from the southwest moving westward, but I don't think
we'll overlap.
