Currently I include inc/address in the "middle" of a rules file,
so that I can "fix" highway names and so on.
Like:
name!=* & place_name=* { name '${place_name}' }
name!=* & loc_name=* { name '${loc_name}' }

or:
tiger:name_base=* & tiger:name_type=Rd & name!=*
        {name '${tiger:name_base} Road'}

If address becomes a standalone file executed before, I have
to put all rules from lines, points and polygons (yes, I use
inc/address in polygons, too, for mkgmap:city and mkgmap:country
specific rules) before inc/address into address. This does not 
make it easier to maintain the style.
