 As I've been evaluating the correctness of the geocoder, I've wrapped the
 geocoder function inside a query that tells me which components of the
 input address matched.

 I compare the components of the output of normalize_address() to the
 components of the geocode.addy geocoded address.

 When all the components match, I'm pretty sure it's a good geocode.
 When most of the components match, I can get a pretty good idea of how
 accurate the geocode is.

 Maybe you'd like to add these "match" attributes to the output of
 geocode() to augment the rating column.

 house number matched?[[BR]]
 street name matched?[[BR]]
 street direction matched?[[BR]]
 city matched?[[BR]]
 state matched?[[BR]]
 zip matched?[[BR]]
