1) Terms "province", "district", "subdistrict" are not sufficient for all cases. For example, in Russia there is a term "territorial zone" - it is not a province, district and subdisctrict, it is term, which is used in addresses of some houses. 2) Even address contain province, district or subdistrict, we have problem with mistakes checkers (people think, that losing addr:street is mistake, software too). 3) I don't insist on term "territory": we can use any another analogous term, for example, "area". 4) We should have a possibility to mark, that address doesn't contain street (1) we can't write addr:street=no, because rendereres will think, that we have street with name "no"; if we write addr:street=no, where should we write the name of territorial unit?
