We are an international project so it makes sense to make use of international addressing schemes where such things exist and the structured nature of the data should make it easy to make the change without introducing errors. I'm slightly more hesitant when it comes to fiddling with whitespace. Since most data consumers will likely strip whitespace altogether or reformat it for display to end users I don't see the value in making this change unless there is a need to edit the item for some other purpose. -- Regards, Andy Street _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
