Actually we started this proposal as "addr:reference_point=*": https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/addr:reference_point But we realized in the first conversation on the list, that "addr:*" belong always to the addresses and isn't anything that would define the reference points. Johan described this in the following mail from last year: On 03/26/2012 02:25 PM, Johan Jönsson wrote: > [...] I have been looking at > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses and it seems that the > key addr: is used on each and every single address. an example, the > addr:street isn´t used on the street but on the surrounding buildings > that uses that street in their adress. with a similar approach, > addr:reference_point would be used on all houses having "the railway > station" as a reference. > > My conclusion is that you should not use addr: for this tag.

[...] Check the archives for the whole conversation: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2012-March/009633.html Further, we have to take in account that one place could have several reference points. For example I have three reference points in my area I could use to tell my address. This is all a little bit more "flexible" here and people can freely choose which reference points to use. So besides that, specifying "addr:reference_point=*" on every building seems to be "micromapping" and a not trivial task. The approach of this proposal is thought to be much more simple: We just want to mark reference points as what they are, so they could be used in routing systems, etc.. > Also, there is no reason to restrict its usage on nodes. Ways (e.g. a > building) or relations (e.g. a "site") may also apply here. Good point. I changed this. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
