In Ontario we don't always map city and province in cases where that can be easily computed from other OSM data. Province is outright discouraged. When the administrative boundaries of municipalities and regions/states/provinces are fully mapped in OSM, requiring them also on every address node seems a bit pedantic (unless of course the address is computed wrongly otherwise). Though I'm sure local practice will vary across the world. --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
