Hi, I think I should have been more explicit in the previous mail... What is the reason you prefer 'addr:ref' over 'addr:alternatehouse'? As I said, I do not mind having one or the other, but I should send some argument to Czech mail list why we need to modify all our address nodes. Sorry for not being clear for the first time, Radek Cernoch Shaun McDonald píše v Út 12. 05. 2009 v 18:28 +0100:Hi, As long as it is documented, it shouldn't be a problem. Don't worry about the fact that no one has used it yet. All tags need to start from somewhere. ShaunHi! this sounds better to me. I've checked the world through XAPI and 'addr:ref' is not used anywhere. Even though I do not see a reason for changing all the Czech address nodes, I am fine with 'addr:ref'. My only worry is how systematic this would be. In fact we need to draw the value of this field on the map. Do you think it is suitable to render a field 'addr:ref'? I'm just afraid of confusing other people, who might think that 'addr:ref' is used just like standard 'ref'. Regards, Radek Shaun McDonald píše v Út 12. 05. 2009 v 00:10 +0100:addr:ref thenBut what if someone creates a node with a single attribute 'ref=300'? I'm afraid it's going to be ambiguous. As I've already written, this number system is really a part of the official address and therefore we need 'addr:something' key. Even in case of a node with single attribute, it must be clear that such node represents an address. Radek Shaun McDonald píše v Po 11. 05. 2009 v 23:22 +0100:How about ref for reference then?Hi, the problem is more subtle. Imagine a Czech house: addr:street=Lidická addr:housenumber=1 addr:alternatenumber=300 then the "official" way of writing the address is Lidická 300/1 which is exactly what we have on our ID cards. The 'alternatenumber' is really considered a part of the address and I guess it would be the same in other countries having the same system. Unfortunately 'name' can't be used for this purpose, because numbered houses can also be named.
