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

[Jo]

Hmm, I'm convinced the associatedStreet relation is the most elegant way to
solve the redundancy problem. The biggest issue with it is the one street
per relation limitation, which I don't understand where it comes from. So,
as far as I'm concerned, it'd be better to redefine it.
