My description were quite simplified. There are more values that influence if road / street has record in DB. Num of segments (number of OSM Way with the same name), the distance from the city (if any exist around), houses along the road...
The handling of long roads is not ideal and the address database does not expect that there could be long roads outside the towns. The generator process them but there are some weakness.
More over is complicated to recognize if Osm Way is part of street inside any town if it is only some named road outside. For example almost every forest track in Germany has defined the name. For example https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/37641016
And the question is how handle such way? Is it street? Should we use this road in address search? This is probably the question for every body..
However you can send me some mistakes and I'll check them.
