Hi,

In looking for information on BS7666, the Association for Geographic 
Information appeared. They have guidelines for creation of gazetteers 
which also suggest that BS7666 leans towards geographic addresses rather 
than postal addresses (street reference, locality name, town name).

https://www.agi.org.uk/bs-7666-guidelines/

The AGI has a lovely comment on modelling street naming and modelling 
(Guidelines Section 1, Page 10, 4.6):

    /"Complex gazetteer structures and records are not a sensible way of
    solving real-world addressing problems."/

Amen!


James
