Ups, yeah I forgot about that. Though we would have to check whether 
addresses consisting of street only, without housenumber (be it because 
there is no housenumber for that address, exists sometimes on the 
countryside, or be it because of the above RNP replacement)
are listed. When I click ok instead of entering a housenumber, 
housenumber=1 is found (so what happens if no housenumber exists?).
