Orleans is one where the postal address does not match the municipal one.
Orleans I'd a figment of Canada Post's imagination.

I agree, but there are others who don't. I know that andrewpmk uses city
and province tags as progress markers. There's also the potential
utility where municipal addresses don't match postal ones (such as
Toronto ≠ Scarborough).

Bonjour James
C'est une excellente idée.  

J'ai corrigé les adresses au sud de Montréal ce qui permet maintenant de faire 
une recherche adresse. OSM Inspector (OSMI) est très utile aussi pour vérifier 
que les adresses sont codées correctement, identifier celles a corriger.  Il y 
a aussi une couchee OSMI dans JOSM. 

L'algorithme adresse de Nominatim cherche une rue à proximité avec exactement 
le même nom (attention minuscules, majuscules, espaces, tirets, accents etc) 
exemplenode adresseaddr:street=Avenue de Gentillyway=* a proximité
name=Avenue de Gentilly
voir http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?lon=8.3902&lat=49.0094&zoom=15

Il serait aussi très important d'importer les polygones de limites 
administratives des municipalités. Pour le Québec, Ressources naturelles Canada 
offre maintenant ces données.
Mais attention, l'import de telles données doit être fait par des contributeurs 
expérimentés connaissant bien les relations de limites administratives. On 
devrait je pense démarrer une page wiki et ré-activer ce projet.

I've been looking into data in Ottawa(this is one of many cities that do this) 
and a lot of addresses/buildings have "addr:city" and I even get 
"addr:province" and "addr:country". 

Seeing as there are boundary polygons for Ottawa, Ontario and Canada. I think 
to reduce data redundancy these should be removed. Of course I am not talking 
about villages like Kuujjuaq where there isn't a administrative border, but in 
cities that do have one.

What do you think?
