If I'm right, I remember the problem of that (or a similar)
labelling approach Microsoft made, because the buzz feature of the
new system mentioned on the label was the Aero Look and Feel, but
one label mentioned the new system as running, not making clear Aero
was NOT supported - only the core system with the old-style
interface.<br>
<br>
Something like that is my fear at your approach, as long as there is
no way to counter this issue.<br>

well - I see that as a problem not only at OSM, but we don't have to
make mistakes already common practise in other areas.<br>

yeah...<br>
the Opening-hours-Map [1] made by Netzwolf uses the mapnik tiles.
Therefore supporting all details of addresses, you can say:
displaying housenumbers, street names, postcodes, city names and
country names.<br>
<br>
But there is no search feature, so "supports address 1.0" would be
misleading, I think.<br>
