<p>The stopword processing should be language-specific and not (solely) based on admin boundaries... One man's stopword is another man's significant proper name.</p>
<p>I agree that the languages which prefix the "road type" (like French and Spanish) are most in need of this, but it is a little less desperate for suffixes as in German and Dutch. In the latter case the roads still end up in the right place in the index when searching. There is another aspect as well: multi-part street names, often using titles and personal names of local heroes.</p>

<pre>Yes, I agree on that. But, could it be done in the style files based on the administrative boundaries, similar to how the admin levels are processed? This would still allow customization, while providing a sanely working default style.
