But probably it's good to know about this similar problem.
This exact approach is new to me. We can discuss its pros and cons, but I think the main message is that multiple addresses are mapped differently all over the world. Every country has its local OSM community which concoct their own tagging rules. The result is database full of tags that are understood by the local mappers, maybe by local applications too, but not by mappers or applications from other countries. We really need some unifying tagging scheme suitable for all kinds of addresses worldwide. -- Friedrich K.
