I agree, my previous address edits includes only housenumbers and associated street. And then I added the admin_level polygon hoping this can be used to support addressing. I am not against ditching the is_in tag, I'm just thinking of ways I can streamline my workflow. > 1.

Explicitly defining address within the POI node (via addr:*) is always better than interpolation. > Regardless, addr:street is essential since this is very hard to infer from > the data without it. My problem with this one is whether to use addr:street or via associatedStreet relation. As always in OSM, there are at least 2 ways to do things. :) > > Anybody else have other thoughts? > > > On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 10:37 AM, maning sambale > <emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com >> wrote: > >> In my mapping area, I have already added a fairly accurate admin_level >> boundaries.
