Thanks.  I will follow that for a while, and then start with simple questions.

Possibly, but I am curious about that.  In how many areas does the addressing 
system form or follow a wide area coordinate system of its own?  One where 
anyone would feel free to overlay their own coordinates for their own 
purposes, i.e., the telephone company numbering their poles, and one where 
official postal addresses can have fractional parts.

I am looking for a generalized transform from one coordinate system to 
another, i.e., geocoding, I think.

It would have to fit what already exists and couldn't replace individual tags, 
but it would fill in the gaps with continuous functions.

Does this make any sense?
