[OSM-talk] RFC - postal addresses (relations)

Hallo,

I've written a proposal for postal addresses:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Postal_Addresses

It covers more than house numbers, i.e. it includes streets, postal 
codes, etc., even countries).

However, the proposal does not allow putting some house numbers on a map 
and having the rest be interpolated); this should, IMO, be handled 
differently (and discussed at 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/House_numbers).

Due to the nature of postal addresses, the proposal overlaps with the 
tagging of geographic areas, such as countries, regions, etc.
