the first bot, run mostly west of the mississippi river, did actually
commit a similar error in some cases.
in Nevada, IA, which has lettered streets, it carefully skipped A

E Street to East Street, and so forth. the later bot, the one Serge

yes, getting them to match should be the goal, not just for
Nominatim, but for data consumers everywhere.
