The key addr:town is currently documented as de facto 
[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q1070][https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:town].
 However investigations in the UK have found it to generally be a mistake for 
addr:city or 
addr:suburb[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses_in_the_United_Kingdom#Address_tags].
 Should it be deprecated?
addr:town<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Item:Q1070>
The town of the object that forms part of the address.

There are also several tags that have been used in the UK which shouldn't have 
been. These include addr:locality, addr:subdistrict and addr:site.See the tags 
to avoid section below. Please note that addr:district (Local Authority area), 
addr:county and addr:country have also been added to the tags to avoid section. 
This is because all three can be automatically determined using the admin ...
