On a slightly more serious note: There are other solutions to the issue of lack of addresses in large parts of the world.
Google has put forth a solution that tries to address most of the w3w issues. It is open source, works off line, non-propriety, usable for printed maps among other issues they try and solve, called Open Location Codes aka "Plus Codes" http://openlocationcode.com/ https://maps.googleblog.com/2015/08/plus-codes-new-way-to-help-pinpoint.html https://plus.codes/ It is still a work in progress for them but they are seriously seeking feedback from the OSM and humanitarian communities. I have no opinion on it because it is a bit beyond my full understanding at the moment, but as I said, thoughtful feedback on it would help I think.
