The "right" way to deal with multiple addresses in a single building is to subdivide the building polygon as appropriate. When that isn't possible, leaving individual address points is reasonable. When there is only one address for a building, though, accepted practice in the US is to tag the building poly with the address. As previously stated, entrances, where known, are handled with the entrance tag. -Nathan _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
