Yeah that would sound better.

I have not looked yet at the new patch, the thing needed desperately is 
to run the rules in several runs so that one can build up on previous 
rules, i.e have several rules that affect the name setting of the same 
street run one after another)

However we should be able to use different names for the global index 
once it's implemented. So if searching for an address the streetname ist 
just the streetname and not attributes added to it. However I know of 
course that the address index is still a long way to go...
