Yeah, I had a street in Bridport that's one name on one side, and another
name on the other, except that half way down the street it gets a little
more confusing... every single house down that road has both the street name
and house number outside it, usually on bits of A4 paper taped to the garden
gate...
I just did "name=name1/name2" for that.

It happens quite a lot that a small section of a larger road has a different
name on just one side... I haven't figured out how to deal with in a nice
way yet.
