We won't.
This system isn't relative. There's no way of knowing the address of the
adjacent blocks. I doesn't work in the real world. Even antiquated UK
postcodes have rough relativity.
Let's face it, it's a joke.

In Canada suite 201 would be understood to be 2nd floor suite 1 of the
building. Where did the name of the building come into it? Do you have a
suggestion for Africa that is less than a very long string of latitude and
longitude remembering that any encoding system would need to be understood

I was thinking if it's not a major problem the full 10 character code
should be easy to support in Nomination as it is based on longitude and
latitude.

My preference would be the open source solution. The three words one
assumes you will recognise the words and many locations use postcodes
already these aren't much different.
How would we make use of it?

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

I tend to be nervous about groups that are structurally like the DWG.
However, when I look at what they've done over the years I've been
involved, and the notion of the automated edits code, I have to say the
DWG has seemed 100% reasonable and if anything sligh
