As I peviously said on this ML, geocoding can certainly be done
locally, with OpenStreetMap data. So, a D-Bus service for that have
sense, hiding at least two sort of implementation behind a single
interface:
- web based
- file based.

Nevertheless, I don't know if your geocode-glib should hide both
implementation or should just be a piece of code to build the web
based solution.
