Hi, How great to finally more than an empty page <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:associatedStreet> !!! But now, if that relation factorizes (2) "street name" shouldn't it factorize addr: city, country, postcode too? Shouldn't those keys be allowed in the relation? Shouldn't those who know the deep secrets of that relation write that down in this page instead of various messages I see?
But I have a little problem here <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/176885423>. addr:housenumber is on a node. If the relation contains * Way Le Théâtre à Denis (176885423) <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/176885423> as house * Node 1873693518 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1873693518> as house JOSM diagnoses "Member for role house of wrong type" - Role verification problem 2 objects: Rue Sainte-Marguerite, Le Théâtre à Denis Now if I remove the second member (1), JOSM diagnoses *2 problems*: House number without street "Member for role house of wrong type" - Role verification problem 2 objects: Rue Sainte-Marguerite, Le Théâtre à Denis (1) the role is "house" but the descriptive comment very vaguely, tersely and strangely describes it as "one or more house numbers" which is logical. Should I assume that "house" is a misnomer, that it means "address" and that I need only the node? (2) After having received the message below, quoting the worst written article of all the wiki, always invoked without justifications, saying that "I have not understood" that relations are not made to factorize tags of all members, I am surprised to see associatedStreet factorize the "street" tag of all of its "house" members. Who did not understand? A relation, whatever its type but probably not associatedStreet, could as well factorize a speed limit or any zone. Cheers, André.
