I will not overwrite the street info based on punctuation differences since then the MassDOT names will no longer match. > 2.)

I assumed that a ZIP code information is handled by some relation, and not attached to the building. Just read about addr:postcode on wiki and I don't see a reason why that can't be added to the buildings while we are at it. > > 3) Just looking at one neighborhood, Allston-Brighton, the .osc > contains building=yes.

The selection runs on anything that has a tag key building (and value is not 'no', just in case). No change of building type will be performed. > 4) Is it really necessary to upload that many notes during the > import? if a building is missing, can you add a node with the address > information instead of leaving a note? I should have been clear on that - the notes generated are not designed to be uploaded at all. It's just the only way I found that I can put a marker on the map and be able to see it in JOSM without creating a POI. I have updated the wiki page with the above clarifications. -- Sincerely, Roman
