[OSM-talk] all our addresses are belong to you

[Jo]

I look up what it is the address for, sometimes we already have a
node/building, so it can be merged. Sometimes it's a garage/gas pump so not
too hard to guess. Usually it's a car rental and I simply hope for the best
and count on the next guy/gal to put it where it really belongs...

It's certainly true that this information shouldn't be imported as is.
That's why I added some invalid nodes to the .osm files my python script
creates. (two nodes on same coordinates to raise a validation error and
coordinates outside the world, so the API rejects the transaction)
There are also abbreviations we don't want. In one case I was able to
correct a street name Antoon Spinoystraat instead of Antoon Spinoylaan.
