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?
