It would work, it's just a lot of unneeded work. Sort of like using assembler
to get a directory listing when you can just use 'ls'. It's hard enough to
get mappers (I did 90% of the work in that area on my own), and the karlsruhe
schema isn't a good fit with the use of the data, either, since people use it
as a grid with a proper numbering scheme. So it's more work to input the data
and to process it later. There are people already (myself included) working
on rendering and routing taking advantage of numbers (without which routing
is not useful here).
