Hi taggers, When mapping recently, I encountered many addresses which contain multiple housenumbers behind single entrances. I've used interpolation before, and used it in the "traditional" sense to map a range along a row of houses. But here we have an interpolated range on a single object, not spread across a spatial extent.
I intuitively re-used the addr:interpolation tag, but applied it to a single object. For example we might have this on a single node or a building: addr:housenumber=100-126 addr:interpolation=even addr:street=Malmesbury Road Please note that: * These house numbers are _not_ flat numbers. That is clear on the ground. * From the outside of the block there's no spatial distribution of those numbers 100-126 so they can't sensibly be represented as a "traditional" interpolation from one addr to another. Today (thanks to Fly's email about something else) I noticed that the wiki says this tagging shouldn't be used. It says: > You may also add a short way and use addr:interpolation=*. Don't specify the > range (e.g., "10-95") directly in the addr:housenumber=* tag. It is > impossible to distinguish such ranges from house numbers that officially > contain a dash. I beg to differ. it _is_ possible to distinguish such ranges, because of the addr:interpolation tag. I certainly understand that software doesn't currently know that an addr:interpolation tag indicates it may parse addr:housenumber as a range, but this tagging seemed so plausible to me that I didn't question it. Adding a short fake way so that there are addr endpoints seems like a total hack to me. How would you tag it?
