Ups, sorry I was not clear. I meant that we should include into the 
global address index also streets without "osm addresses". So that any 
street present in the map, can be searched for by the "address search" 
and not only proper addresses with housenumbers (because we don't have 
many of them yet). This would have the added advantage of being able to 
search for hiking ways of which you know the name (but which certainly 
have no houses, so no address).
So I would like to have the functionality of "road-name-pois" inside the 
address search (with housenumber=0, because the Vista HCx will only let 
you enter a streetname in the search, after having typed in a 
housenumber; I do believe that other GPS are similar in that regard).

Whether the "road-name-pois" is then dropped or not, does not matter to me.
