   Perhaps I'm missing something here, but if TIGER potential addresses are 
added by Karlsruhe Schema, shouldn't people actually update the potential 
addresses with actual addresses?  Mere mortals can do that quickly.   They 
can even reposition over the approximate house line if  the houses are 
visible from a Aerial photo.   And us nerds with GPS's, aerial imagery, and 
editor tools will replace them with house number nodes in the exact 
position.

  To address comments made by others - having something present prompts me 
to update and doesn't remove motivation.   I'm the exact opposite of the 
"TIGER kills crowdsourcing" point of view; I probably wouldn't have even 
gotten interested if there were no TIGER roads present.
