Hi Arothian- According to our HTTP services documentation, they're ordered in terms of best to least match: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#ReverseGeocoding
The format is shown in a bit more detail here - it follows a rather hard-to-parse schema called xAL. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#JSON You can read about the ExtendedData information here: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_frm/thread/53c4525e8d01e75d/58c1b09987b39e26 It's not a great format, I know..
