Hi All,

Following on from my previous email to the list, this is a classic example
where the wiki page has become so long and complex I can't make head or
tail of it.

So... how do people tag UK addresses?

The standard for representing addresses in Britain is BS7666, which
comprises:

* Primary addressable object name (PAON),
* Secondary addressable object name (SAON),
* street,
* postcode,
* locality (if available),
* town,
* county

This combination of PAON and SAON allows them to do easily capture
addresses such as:

Example 1

Flat 2
8 Something Road,
Town,
...

Example 2

6, The Hollies,
Birmingham Road,
Town,
...

How would these map to OSM's tags?

Finally how would you tag something like:

Business Name,
Building Name,
Something Technology Park,
Other thing Road,
Town,
...


Thanks,
Rob
