I agree that it's a hard call (and trade-off). Also, I don't want to
appear as complaining. I think the implementation as-is, is pretty
fantastic.
I wonder whether some context can be drawn in from whether there is a
administrative city boundary or residential landuse area surrounding a
street. But this would of course increase the parsing complexity a lot,
I guess.
Anyway, thanks for the namefinder!
