There is no setup process...

Yea, that's why I asked for people to document this.

Sure, but that's why I mentioned I need to work on CSS, but it's really
great to debug.

Yes, also mentioned in my todo list.

Ok, this is beta, it's meant to be rough, it's not the way addresses are
stored, it was just easy to show them that way.  I think you focus too
much on the way it looks.  Have you tried it?

That I disabled because you'll go nuts since the screen will move to
accomodate the popup (and your map will pan away)

Ok, now this is getting silly.  How in the world are you going to
compair later on ?  You really need references back and forth.  those
tags are as important as the geometries.
