[Talk-scotland] [Talk-GB] Tagging of roads with adjacent named terraces

[Donald Noble]

Thanks Alan,
As I understood addr:substreet was more in conjunction with address nodes
on buildings, not tagging the road ways, as this loses the spatial
placement and doesn't work when both sides of a road have different names
buildings/terraces. I suppose we could go with addr:substreet:left and
:right, but I am not sure this is helpful.
