And how would it work for House, Road, Village, City, County, Postcode?

Right, you could use the premise field:

address.premise = Foobar House – VillageName
address.city == CityName
address.county == CountyName
address.postalCode == Postcode

“Premises” is a fairly “corporate” name for a building. How do I put in the address “Foobar House, VillageName, CityName, CountyName, Postcode” (which is my home address with placeholders)?

hey chris,
this would allow geoclue to also uses these fields, yes! before this change, geoclue (or any other addon/provider) would have to do a bunch of extra work.

See bug 485472 for geoclue work.

Does that also include geolocation switching so people can use things like geoclue?

thanks. Right, there are dozen of ways to address places on the earth. The attributes listed are the most common we have found. We can add to this list as demand grows.
