[OSM-talk] Representing places with no housenumber

[Rory McCann]

Plenty of house in Ireland don't have a housenumber. So just don't add 
addr:housenumber! If there's a name, then use addr:housename.

IMO you should enter the correct "addr:*" tags, and it's up to the 
geocoder to show them right. You could always use addr:full to help it?

I think "name:absent=yes" is better for "this thing doesn't have a 
name", which is extensible to "addr:housenumber:absent=yes". But is 
anywhere using *any* "no name" scheme?
