Any chance that moving forward, we could do case-insensitive matching on
street and city names?  I've noticed that it's tripped over streets like
'Via del Mar' (imported address points have 'Via Del Mar' with the
preposition capitalized) and 'WTRY Road'. and flagged 'no matching street
nearby'.  The names were identical except for the capitalization.

On second thought, I had a boatload of manually mapped addresses in
'NIskayuna' - apparently once I'd typed it once with a sticky SHift key,
auto-complete propagated it into other data entry for weeks! (And with
sans-serif fonts, the problem is well-nigh impossible to see.) The import
found this and let me correct it, so maybe checking for case mismatch is a
reasonable idea. I'll let you decide.
