This postal service data is great! It appears to be a large chunk of
the database they use internally for understanding the letters people
mail and figuring out where they go. Since they need to process all
sorts of crazy input, it's actually got a list of all the things
average people call streets, instead of the formal names that get
listed on maps. (I wished Google Maps had this data! -- it doesn't
know what anything is really called around here.)
I'm working on a simple parser.
