But extrapolating from what you write, copying the entire db through a geocoder is actually hard. You'll have to know all addresses in advance or query all locations in the world. The latter is expensive and it would always leave you with an inaccurate copy. Either way, if you did this in a systematic way you'd be looking at a Derivative Database again. Just like the example of OCRing an OSM based tiled map and thus rebuilding the OSM database that has come up before.
