Eugene, Thank you for confirming the detail. Very helpful! ;)
As you said, it might be temporary, but it is used indeed. So I think it is better to described and defined in OSM wiki. > underscore Yes, so I've proposed "blocknumber"(without _) to fit "housenumber", "postcode" or "subdistrict" (withour _). Otherwise, "block_number"(with _) is proposed 2 years ago. I would like to hear other opinions. (Tagging ML is better?) Japanese mappers got consensus to change it to "block_number"(without _). Maybe either tag is OK. 2014-04-13 10:30 GMT+09:00 Eugene Alvin Villar <[email protected]>: > On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 4:07 PM, Satoshi IIDA <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I would like to confirm a few points. >> >> 1.
