OSM Inspector ist ein großartiges Tool!

Nur leider scheint er Plätze, die mit "place=square" getaggt sind, nicht als zulässige "Straßen" zu akzeptieren (weder als Node noch als Area), z. B. hier: http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=7.59448&lat=47.54290&zoom=18&overlays=buildings,buildings_with_addresses,postal_code,entrances_deprecated,entrances,no_addr_street,street_not_found,place_not_found,misformatted_housenumber,nodes_with_addresses_defined,nodes_with_addresses_interpolated,interpolation,interpolation_errors,connection_lines,nearest_points,nearest_roads,nearest_areas,addrx_on_nonclosed_way Könntet ihr das noch verbessern, oder ist irgendwas falsch getaggt? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dsquare

Maybe the addresses should just be tagged with addr:place instead of addr:street to make them match the place=square objects. However, addr:place seems to be intended for larger objects like "villages, islands, territorial zones" as stated in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:place So I don't think it's the way to go for squares in cities, as they resemble streets a lot in this aspect, being something very local.

Any progress here?

@johsin18 : Unfortunately I currently can't find the time to work on osmi-addresses. @Nakaner helps out, but his time is also limited.

If you could provide a patch, it would greatly improve the chances for progress.
