[Geopriv] "House Number" misnamed?

["Rosen, Brian" <brian.rosen at neustar.biz>]

In the original PIDF-LO definition in RFC4119, we have a field called "House
Number" (and a "House Number Suffix").  Is this field misnamed?

Suppose you had a "milepost" on a road, or on a railroad, or even a hiking
trail.  Would you expect the marker number (which is usually miles or
kilometers as measured from an end of the road/railroad/trail) to appear in
the "HNO" field?

I think yes, which means that the field is misnamed.  I would suspect that
the appetite of the work group to actually change the name of the field
would be low, although I would probably like to do something that would
generalize the use of the field.

A more subtle question.  In 4119, under HNO, it says "numeric part only".
If the post marker was "125.5" is that numeric enough, or would we have to
use the suffix?
