[OSM-talk] Door to door routing to buildings with multiple occupants

[Dave Sutter]

The proposed indoor mapping conventions address this issue, as well as
how to handle the resulting overlapping ways. There unfortunately
isn't yet consensus and there hasn't been as much attention to this
area from the larger OSM community as I would like. I think this
example, mapping out units in a building, is a compelling use case for
indoor maps.
