I wrote down some thoughts here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Multiple_addresses ...although I do now prefer addr2:* instead of addr[2]:*, because the former is more widely used and easier to understand. Concerning number ranges, I think that they should be mapped as they are (i.e. ranges), because that's how they are used in the real world (number plates, addresses in letters, etc.). > I'm working on the BANO project who aims to create a nationwide address > database, using in part OSM data. > I already have to deal with this kind of addr:housenumber=* > > For the moment, 265-269 is transformed into 265 and 269 only, but having > some tag based clue that we have an odd number range meaning that 267 is > located at the same place would be a real benefit. Applications need to incorporate country-specific rules. The wiki already contains lists of country-specific maxspeeds and access restrictions for routing, and we probably need a list of country-specific rules for house numbers as well. E.g. house number ranges mean either either odd oder even numbers in Austria. In other coutries, a range may stand for both odd and even numbers. Given that the BANO project aims for a nationwide database only, your task seems easy. You probably already know the rules for your country. -- Friedrich K.
