Forgot to add that here is an example, using current node addressing on one side of the street, and my proposed method on the other side of the street: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=32.67212&lon=-97.39307&zoom=17 Current mapping agents would, of course, ignore the skip tag, and assume twice the number of houses on the interpolated side. (I'm not even sure that's a problem.) -- Randy _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
