I can't point to standards, but I can offer my preferences. I like the address numbers, but I'd prefer that they were on the building outlines. Also, the addr:housenumber should also have addr:street, iirc. I'm not a fan of mapping "property lines" as shown in the untagged ways in that area, for reasons that have been discussed amply on talk@ and talk-us@. To summarize; we can't know or guess where the property line is, in many jurisdictions there will be a set back from physical objects that we can see like the road or fence. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
