The `addr:street` should match what goes on the address label that a
delivery driver will be reading.
Ordinarily, that's the signed name of the street, if the street has a
name. Rural New York has many streets that will have a `ref=* noname=yes`
- because their highway number is their only name. In this case, I use the
postal address spelt out, so a building or address point will
have `addr:housenumber=1234 addr:street="'State Route 214"` or
`addr=housenumber=1234 addr:street="County Route 23C"`
That practice gives some validation engines heartburn - they warn that
`addr:street` shows a name that does not belong to a nearby way.
That sounds suspiciously like a solvable problem. (I mean, that the
validation tools could be improved to handle this situation properly.)
Granted, there may need to be some gymnastics to know that e.g. "State
Route (\w+)" matches ref="[A-Z]+ \1", but even so...
