I don't disagree with any of that, but will traditional address data
get added more quickly? Adding postcodes to FtP is quite a long-winded
process, but I'm not convinced that adding house number/name
information to OSM will be that much quicker/easier.

That said, I don't *object* to people adding address data to OSM.
