The geocoder takes whatever it's given and attempts to make sense of it. Nothing is routinely ignored, although if a piece of data doesn't seem to fit with what can be gleaned from the rest of the data, it may well be ignored. (Eg, a complete address with an incorrect zipcode may well result in the zipcode being ignored because the rest of the address is an exact match for a result in the database). Thus there is no way of including (say) structured field names. The result of geocoding is available as structured data, though.
