[Imports] Australia - Geocoded national address data

[Daniel O'Connor]

There's been a bit of discussion of this on the talk-au lists so far; but
the data itself won't be released until February.

Schema etc is reasonably well documented and some folks will have worked
with the non-free data, so there's a fair idea of the scope/scale/accuracy
of data.

Whats not yet clear is the best plan for merging with existing data -
sprinkling 14 million floating address points in one giant changeset isn't
a terribly good idea.

http://qa.poole.ch/ is worth taking a look at; to understand where we have
gaps in even road naming - generally of more use than address points.

If you'd like to help plan what's possible, feel free to start a wiki page
describing the data and possible imports in a priority list; or to continue
the discussion thread on talk-au.
