Semicolon in house numbers #118

Open woodpeck opened 4 years ago

woodpeck commented 4 years ago

I have a bug report from an OSMI user claiming that house numbers with a semicolon are marked as errors when they should not: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2053237450

It's a strange oddity in OSM but the Karlsruhe Schema specifies that house numbers are separated by a comma, not a semicolon.

Would you consider a pull request on this if I made one?

woodpeck commented 4 years ago

I have read up on the docs and @Nakaner is right, a comma is required, and a semicolon wrong (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema, first table row under "Tags"). I think that before we change OSMI to stop complaining about a semicolon, we'd probably have to get the community to agree to change the rules.

@woodpeck : Good catch and good idea to ask for community agreement.

I guess, I would support the addition of semicolon as a valid separator but would need to hear what this change could possibly break.
