[mkgmap-dev] addr:place and housenumbers

Hi Gerd,

I like this addition to style, but I can't estimate, how many roads 
would get names. I think there are some regions, where streets in a city 
lack names. It could be wrong to force names to multiple streets in a 
dense urban area. Probably this addition should be used with care and 
maybe enabled per country?

Or maybe place name could be added to a street as secondary label? For 
example streets with ref number could get additional label and ref in a 
shield would remain as a visible name.

I have looked at some addr:place in Poland. Unfortunately there is no 
boundaries with admin level >= 8 for these places and level 7 would be 
too generic. Addition in style alone won't be sufficient.
