there is no single solution to both of these problems. the current
handling of this in Nominatum is so far as i know focused on

so what do we mean by geocoding? what do we want it to do
exactly? who is the customer and what are the use cases?
The prospect of using the postal address in the US seems to be
remote, as that information will need to come from the US Postal Service.
Surveying postal addresses by opening mailboxes (illegal) or knocking
on doors doesn't seem feasible.
but the enhanced 911 addresses are basically the same as the postal
addresses and have the potential to become available. i'm working on
that in my part of upstate NY.
