Heh, that's actually an interesting point. There might be some redundancies but there's a reason for the current country-city-street-number system in use for most places: Maybe you get the address number wrong, but you won't get the country or even city wrong. With coordinates, type a 1 instead of a 7 and you're in a different continent. Type "peek" instead of "peak" and you might be on the other side of the world.
I wonder how much of that has been considered in that system. Easy-to-misspell words, people not wanting "idiot.lives.here" as their home address, etc. I suppose a lot of effort was put into getting this right. But this is a start-up, not a a centuries-old, established system.
