I will address parts of your requests with changing the name assignment 
to mkgmap:name:1..4.

For streets all these names will be searchable in address search. I 
don't know if it is possible to add more than one name to 
cities/regions/countries. And I also don't know yet if there will be 
more than one searchable label for POIs.
