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

[Robert Weetman]

Not sure if it helps to add this kind of response, but I'm going to
anyway...

It feels instinctively to me to be that the obvious tagging should be with
Leopold Place as a building name. I imagine this causing issues with actual
maps, but we're going to face this issue anyway. And we should fall back on
the rule about not tagging for any particular rendering.

I guess there's no harm in the addr:substreet addition too.

Just my twopennethworth as they say.
