OK, I'm back. The example will be uploaded as soon as I'm happy with it.
While the associatedStreet relation is open, you can also add the
highway=service to it, and give it a role=street.
I like to order the houses by housenumber and put the streets at the end.
When you sort the relation with the inbuilt sorting routine of the JOSM
relation editor, the streets go first. That's not very important.
You can add all the other street segments which have the same name and
which happen to be in the same 'gemeente' and which share the same postcode.
Now you will find that those houses aren't exactly rectangular, so you'll
have to use 'x' to extrude a lot and all the other regular editing aids at
your disposal. 'q' to make everything orthogonal.
If you now where the front door is, because you can determine it from bing,
or because you have survey pictures, you can add nodes with entrance=main
on the contour.
I also prefer to use building=house instead of building=yes, some people
even start tagging the shape of the rooftops... (to get nice 3D renderings,
and why not, but I'm not that far gone yet)
Now this is how I was doing it before I went to have a look in France, say
before the RMLL in Strasbourg in July.
Over there they are doing things a bit differently. The French claim they
got the idea in Germany, but the same discussion just occurred on talk-de
and the Germans prefer to do things as it 's currently described on the
wiki.
The other way of working is to preserve the existing address nodes (and
thus their history) and to put them on the contour, adding entrance=main to
them, where appropriate.
I tend to like that, as it allows to see both house numbers and name tags
on the buildings. Those names are usually the name of a business in that
building.
Let me know if something is not clear and then take all this text, modify
it as needed and create a wiki page from it. (You can leave out the remarks
at the end, if you like)
The price for this whole explanation is a few photos of the bus stops in
that neighbourhood... :-)
If you make those pictures, you can send them to fotoshaltesdel...@gmail.com
Many thanks and you can, of course, let me know if something is not as
clear as it should be.
