   Thanks to those who worked on the namefinder - it worked GREAT when I 
tried it today.  (THANKS to those who created the new namefinder!)  It 
properly identified my house by Hamlet, City, County, etc without my 
including any of that information in the house number or street.    With 
that in mind, the script tags everything with:

<tag k="addr:street" v="Big Grove Rd" />
<tag k="addr:state" v="MyState" />
<tag k="addr:county" v="MyCity, ST" />
<tag k="addr:country" v="US" />


I believe people have been saying that this information is not necessary, 
and is_in is also not necessary for 99% of cases, so we can save space by 
not including that for the Karlsruhe Schema.   (But I don't know how the 
namefinder works).
