Comment(by robe):

 There are a couple of issues.  I think anything is fairgame.  If you look
 at Mike Pease tickets -- that gives you a general sense of the pitfall
 areas:

 http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component=tiger+geocoder&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=component&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone

 We are working on fixing these particularly Highway and misspellings.  But
 while doing so we need to make sure that

 1) We don't slow down the geocoding of things that used to be fast by
 adding in more checks

 2) We don't break things that used to work like addresses that returned
 right answers now returning wrong answers.

 So as long as you have a base line of some sort -- which you would from
 above that would be good enough.

 I'm not even so concerned about random access because genrally I think for
 speed people will sort the data in some sort of meaning full order like
 zip, street etc to get faster speeds.

 So first stab is just to make sure the goecoding is still right
 Second stab hasn't lost speed (which is trickier to test because of
 differences in caching behavior depening on sort, speed of server, and
 other server stuff happening)
