    5 The icons are my own work, and are hereby released into the public domain. As the icons are 16x16 low-detail representations of well-known and commonly available items used on paper envelopes, no infringement upon the trade marks or copyrights of The Royal Mail Group Limited or its subsidiaries is intended or could reasonably be inferred from their use in map editing software or otherwise. No sponsorship or endorsement is implied, or would be accepted.
     3These presets allow convenient use of the  [osmwiki:Addresses_in_the_United_Kingdom UK-specific addressing tags described in the OSM wiki]. The UK has a somewhat odd arrangement of Premises, Thoroughfare, and Locality (and Postcode) where thoroughfare is sometimes 2-level, and Locality is sometimes 3-level. In response, the UK OSM community has come up with two mutually exclusive, competing schemas, both of which are implemented here with a slight favour for the trickier but more global "addr:place" schema.

     5These presets also contain a number of dialogs to help mappers avoid deprecated combinations, and several tags which have been pointed out by the community as tags to avoid (for example, because the UK doesn't have a particular administrative division).
