I'd also say that, in an example that appeared here earlier, where several properties can be accessed by any of several gates, the correct way to handle it would not be to put addresses on gates but by footpaths or pedestrian areas or similar and apply the addresses to the buildings. As I understand it, in some countries the emergency services use OSM. Knowing the building they can figure out which gate to use. Knowing the gate may not tell them which of several buildings they need to get to. Then again, as long as people don't force me to put addresses at the end of driveways, I'm not going to put much effort into arguing the point. -- Paul
