I don't think you have fully understood what I was saying. The Karlsruhe schema is being used, and people are already enabled to enter the data. They are free to choose any other scheme they think works better. It would be trivial to support more than one house numbering scheme in renderers and editors; there's no need try and force people into using the Karlsruhe schema if they don't like it. All I'm saying is, it's there, it works, you can use it if you want, or you can continue discussing it on the Wiki, as people have been doing the past 23 months. > We may also adapt the tools then, e.g. create a function in JOSM that > "explodes" a way by creating parallel ways (for each continuous segment) with > pre-filled tags (street names, and so on) so that entering data is easy > enough. There's already some support for the Karlsruhe schema through tagging presets (under "places"/"house numbers"). The fields are pre-filled with the values you used last, so it's quite suitable for tagging multiple objects on a road. More editor support is planned for JOSM, with the option of switching to a "house number edit" mode. The tool you suggest could be investigated but I'm wary concerning the number of nodes placed on the helper lines that way, esp. at intersections. All this is possible and works without a vote, although of course you can have one if you want. I'm sure the Karlsruhe schema does not work for all types of addresses, e.g. what I have heard of India where people say that some addresses are structured like "the second house on the left after the big tree" or so. But then the Karlsruhe schema is not intended to become an ISO norm ;-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
