A post-import MapRoulette challenge would make sense. A natural
progression when adding SuperCenter store detail is to add the POIs as
separate nodes. It should be no problem when adding them first except
that the address would logically belong to the building unless the
embedded stores have their own unit/suite number.

The nearby OpenStreetMap road name could help since it's already in
the proper form. But there are also many US or state Highways that
haven't been set to a usable address name: for example the street and
post office address would be "Highway 244" but the nearby US244 only has
a ref but no name, or it is named "United States Highway 244".
