It's one thing to say that to speed up and simplify processing, there should be
duplicated data.  Quite another to say that every contributor, on every object
that has an address, should manually add several redundant tags.

Let's tag the information that is needed, but not restate the same thing in
several different ways.  Then if some different presentation of that info is
needed, this can be done in a separate post-processing step by a computer, not
by people.
