[Talk-us] Announcement: Address Improvement project

[Ian Dees]

I'm a bit confused about how Karlsruhe doesn't apply to the US.

When I'm adding addressing information I usually use the following two tags:

addr:street=*
addr:housenumber=*

Those seem to cover the vast majority of addressing use cases in the US.
What am I missing?
