So basically there's no consensus about whether property boundaries should be included or not, but regardless they won't get rendered anyway.

I experimented by adding some properties and their addresses for a couple of streets in around Enmore, and Nominatum was able to find the addresses as you'd expect, e.g. searching for "22 charles st, enmore" returns <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/389348302>. However also as expected no boundary or even house number was rendered.

What a shame. It seems that in lieu of having any buildings marked out, using property borders would have been a useful way to indicate addresses - also seems more correct than using buildings, to my mind anyway.

A simple google search (OSM property boundary) turns up some results

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:boundary#Property_.28land_parcel.29_boundaries
.. probably will not render.

Then OSM parcel boundary (is this an American term?!)

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parcel -a summary .. possibly biased
.. at least a country bias?

I think it is a boundary of sorts .. thus the appropriate tag is
boundary ... possible value? boundary=property?
