I once had a look at the Karlsruhe Schema and i found it "ugly" from a
technical point of view. In my world one wants explicit links between
two objects but the proposal simply draws points or polygons "next to"
something which is not a explicit link. Adding a relation or an addr tag
just makes it more confusing as the point you draw next to a street not
explicitly pinpoints a location but the point of the minimum distance
between 2 objects which may be anywhere ...

I havent got any better way to do it but the proposal leaves a bad taste
in my mouth ...
