Description
The position of addr:place in the Address preset dialogue is leading people to believe that this tag should be used to record some part of the address greater than a street but smaller than a city (that is, some sort of suburb or sub-city location). This is wrong: addr:place is at the same level as addr:street and mappers should add one or the other, not both. See Nominatim QA site for this: https://nominatim.org/qa/#map=2.50/0.00/0.00&layer=addr_place_and_street
Proposal: move addr:place into the "Optional values for specific countries" section. I believe this is correct as the concept of addresses with no street name only exists in some countries.
