Think of it as a progressive system, first comes the physical street
information (the ways), then comes the names and then comes the street
numbering. The map becomes progressively more useful with each step,
but each step becomes progressively more labour intensive.

Besides, what's more nerdy than designing a routing system to collect
the most information possible in the least amount of time?
