Yes, I see that.  It's starting to look like a database to hold all
of this data would be a good idea, as we could use it for geocoder
lookups, for highlighting roads found by geocoding, for looking up
speed limits, and for drawing the maps.  We'd only need one copy of
the data as well.  Right now we have a partial second copy of the
map data in the geocode data.
