I have a data set of companies with neat fields for name, phone,
postcode and geo. The address for each is one big string including
number, street, town, and sometimes route-road names and
directions. It's a real mess.
At present, I've chosen to mark up the entire address string as
street-address, even though I know it to include locality, region
and other misc information in many cases. Without access to a
better geocoding system, I don't think there's a practical way for
me to distinguish between parts of the string.
I figure that nothing is going to break on trying to parse the
street-address, and ultimately it's better to have the data in some
form than none. The alternative as I see it is to not include any
of this information in the hCard.
I have a nagging thought that I'm being evil.
Thoughts?
Not evil, you've got a tough situation.
My first question would be "what do current consumers of iCalendar do
with that?". If it doesn't totally break them, then its not *too bad*
of an abuse.
