Hi all,

I have put proposed tagging rules for addressing and place names on
the wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Taiwan/Taiwan_tagging

I use these tags already. If you have any questions or suggestions,
please discuss here.

Short explanation:
the addr:* tags (except add:full) are splitting the address of a
building or POI (company, etc.) into components for *western* mailing
software. Those mailing software uses databases and stores every
component of an address in separate fields. The software then puts the
address back together according to the country specific formatting rules.

In Taiwan we don't have this. We put the full Chinese address into one
single line.
Therefore I put the Chinese address into addr:full, and use the other
addr:* fields for the romanized (English) spelling of the address, so
that users in other countries can use their mailing software to
retrieve the romanized address components correctly.

Examples:
addr:full = 40350臺中市西區中興街183號11樓
addr:housenumber = 183
addr:street = Zhongxing Street
addr:district = West District
addr:city = Taizhong City
addr:country = Taiwan, R.O.C.
addr:postal = 40350
addr:floor = 11F

addr:full = 10050臺北市忠孝東路二段88號13樓1301室
addr:housenumber = 88
addr:street = Section 2, Zhongxiao East Road
addr:city = Taipei City
addr:country = Taiwan, R.O.C.
addr:postal = 10050
addr:floor = 13F
addr:door = Room 1301

addr:full = 97074花蓮縣花蓮市介林九街1-5號
addr:housenumber = 1-5
addr:street = Jielin 9th Street
addr:city = Hualien City
addr:state = Hualien County
addr:country = Taiwan, R.O.C.

Cheers
Arne
