Yeah, basically all the three words give you is "somewhat? memorable unique identifiers". You get jack diddly squat in terms of routing information.
You want a lot of things out of a good address system.
1. Unique identifier. (ie, no duplicates)
2. Reasonably simple to remember. (ie, not lat-longs)
3. Simple levels of abstraction. ("Do you deliver to X?")
4. Recursive routing. (Navigating to one layer of the address, then another, should work reasonably well.)
5. Decentralized implementation. (Localities must be able to assign names while following a few reasonable rules.)
#1 and 2 aren't really the hard parts of the problem.
