It's very different for living people: * The privacy issue is much bigger * If you've got a reason to visit somebody, you can certainly contact hin to know his whereabouts * We have this neat concept of "house numbers" and "street names" to express an address, which often cannot be used in cemeteries * People tend to change appartments much more often than they change graves _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
