It has been a while since the use of "collection" and "street" relations
for collections of ways belonging to the same street have been
discussed. I just had a look at 

http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Planet/En/top_undocumented_relations.html

and both relations area apparently ±equally used. Of course I understand
that everybody should tag what he/she thinks suits him/her best, but in
rather "fundamental" cases like this I personally would prefer a
somewhat coordinated approach ;-)

I would be interested in your opinion on preference for one of the types
(there is a short discussion on one of the talk pages, focussing on the
dilemma of being "too specific"/"too fundamental"), as I'm trying to
make up my mind which one to use here in north Brazil, where neither of
both relations have been much applied yet.

Thanks! Ulf
