Description
In the physical address intake forms of many client-facing applications, localityName is entered in a separate field. Such an application could include both addressString and localityName in geocoder requests to allow the geocoder to do a reasonable proximity test before accepting a given match. Here's a proposal:
In addresses resource, add support for a locality proximity check.
If a localityName parameter is provided in addition to addressString, the geocoder will reject any matches that are beyond a certain distance from the named locality.
We could also add support for a localityRange parameter that specifies what the threshold distance is with a default of 60 km, which is what MCFD is currently using.
