[Yury Yatsynovich]

One question on Phase 1 of address import, namely on NO UNITS:
In my code I exclude units whenever possible, but I kept them if addr:unit
is the only way to identify buildings (i.e. a group of buildings may have
the same street name and housenumber and be differentiated only with UNIT).

Another issue I would want to discuss is whether the tag "add:housename"
should be part of the imported information. MAD provides some data on that,
but usually that data includes either addr:units (B, A, Rear, etc.) or the
name of an amenity (fire station, police dept, school, etc.) -- which
should rather be added as amenity=* + name=*, but not the name of a
building. Shall we separate "building names" by MAD into addr:unit and
amenity name rather than importing them as addr:housename?
