Subject: RE: [Geopriv] Taiwanese street section numbers

After reading a little of the Universal Postal Union addressing standard, they seem to have solved a similar problem by combining this sort of data with leading and trailing qualifiers.  That is, this information would be contained in the same field that holds the directionals.  They call them thoroughfare qualifiers and cite examples of "North", "SW", "Little" and "Upper", maybe "Section 7" might also fit within that context.

My only concern with this is that A7 could be erroneously used for directionals, or that values like "Little" and "Upper" could end up in the directional fields.

Cheers,
Martin
