[OSM-talk] Skip geographical (redundant) address tags

[Jo]

The very first I did, I did it according to 'spec':

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/7595148

The result is a ridiculous amount of 4 relations for a street of less than
1,5 km in length. Some of which only contain one house. And each of them
containing redundant name, addr:city, addr:postcode and addr:country tags.

Hence my disagreement with the spec. I did realise that JOSM probably had a
reason to complain about it, ofc. Another problem/argument is that when
streets are split, there will be 2 or more street segments in those
relations anyway.

Cheers,

Polyglot
