OK, understood. Sure, you want the road name without the city name
suffixed as you get with the RNPs.

Don't know how adding housenumber=0 to a road address will change
things. Surely, the hcx will still be asking for a number? As you
probably know, you don't even have to enter a number, just OK.

Indeed, the RNP code can slumber.
