thanks, this is awesome! i've already found and fixed a few addressing
bugs in my area (apparently, i can't tell odd from even).

it seems to be flagging addresses tagged with the associatedStreet
relation method of the Karlsruhe schema with "cannot find street"
errors. is this is because street finding via relations isn't
implemented yet?

finally, a request: could you please add postal_code
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:postal_code) as a synonym
for addr:postcode, so i can debug these areas in the UK? it'd be a
pain to go back and change them all :-)

cheers,
