I have a number of addresses in my list that would not validate. Can you tell me why?

16321 Pacific Coast HWY 128 Pacific Palisades, CA (I looked this up on google maps and it is there)

7800 Saulsalito Ave West Hills CA 91304 (This is also on google maps)

I'll start making a list of addresses where the address verification has been questioned and the solutions.

Original Input:
16321 Pacific Coast HWY 128 Pacific Palisades, CA

Output:
16321 Pacific Coast Highway 128
PACIFIC PALISADES CA

This fails because an exact determination for the street name is unavailable. It could be 16321 Pacific Coast or HWY 128. It is ambiguous. However, once a # is added in front of the 128, it validates perfectly.


Original Input:
7800 Saulsalito Ave West Hills CA 91304

Output:
7800 Sausalito Ave
West Hills CA 91304-4610

This fails because the street name is misspelled. It should be Sausalito. Once the spelling is corrected, it validates perfectly.
