marking building with no addresses which could be implicit

Hi, I was wondering if people be opposed if one were to use application that uses `noaddress=yes` to mark buildings that have no address in cases when their detailed building type (Eg. `garage`, `shed` or similar) is not determined yet, but it is known that do not have address?

Of course, if/when detailed building type was determined and mapped (for example with `building=shed`) then `noaddress=yes` would be removed (as it would be implicit).

This sounds reasonable behavior to me, but it was pointed out that larger community might raise objections, so I though I'd ask. More discussion in tagging mailing list --mnalis (talk) 16:43, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

What's the point of this useless tag?

If it does not have an address, just leave everything blank, why introducing an useless tag to tell us? -- CBRS (talk) 01:06, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

@CBRS: It's basically used to tell QA tools not to keep asking you for the address of a feature. Same as e.g. noname=yes or nohousenumber=yes--Kjon (talk) 09:18, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
