How did you reuse it for multiple purposes without having a type entity?  For 
example I don't want address specific key/values operating on groupName 
strings, that's why I'm proposing to add the type pattern to the entity.

And I think you'll find it is actively used for its intended purpose, for 
example both google checkout and the first ebay component make use of the 
methods in PartyWorker that in turn use AddressMatchMap and those components 
are fairly recent additions.  I do plan on adding javadocs to the worker 
methods though, I'm guessing a lot of people simply aren't aware of them and 
what they do.
