This were only examples, the result is used by me to set mkgmap:street
in some cases to prevent inc/address from setting it (workaround for some
bad tagging, where people add addr:street to a highway, e.g.).

So in this special case I could add:
highway=* & name=* & addr:street=* {delete addr:street} 
to address, but I'm afraid that we loose a lot of flexible to
"fix" wrong data by rules. And I'm not sure if adding the workarounds
from points/lines/polygons to address is really always a good thing
or can work.
