And then what about other countries? In Taiwan, there's the idea of main road,
alley/subroad, then building identifier. I'm sure other places will have
different address formats. Someone just mentioned that the best solution is to
create a geocoder for each "type" of address? Is that the trajectory of
geocoding for OSM? To have a per-country/region based geocoder?
And, someone mentioned that Nominatim isn't good in the US? I'm trying to
implement some basic geocoding (all US addresses), and that would be somewhat
devastating. Is this actually the case, before I spend time going down this
path?
