I'm one of those pushing for type=street, and I'd be glad if we could merge all
somethingStreet to it :) (which is less error-prone, less chars to type, easier
to remember)

(we should also include type=collection + collection=street and type=route +
route=street -- rationale for the latter is that named routes should be
route=road)

Oh, nice.

There you can already see that "street" is already at second place just behind
associatedStreet.

In Italy it's already superior to it :) (1010 vs. 625 [0])
