...sort of off topic, but even more than needing better preposition support,
I'd love to see another Detail line (for the villages of mine). If you look

and shipping), there's an Addressee line, TWO Detail lines, a city line,
etc.

[L1]. But this just stops treating the preposition as a specific part of
speech related to a place, and handles it instead as just another piece of
text. That would cause problems for a significant number of us.
