With all this talk of changing street names, can i just remind you to make sure that if you are changing street names that there are no addresses liked to that street. I have added many addresses linked to streets using Karlsruhe schema (without relations) - i guess this is where relations would help. I just did it the way the germans did it - they seem to know what they are doing. If there are, either change them also, or add a fixme tag or something.
