Either that, or web scrape mapquest.com or some other site that provides 
lat/long for returned results, but that probably violates the acceptable use 
policy of those sites.

I for one would be very interested in such a web service (I'd really like a 
address / street lookup to find lat/longs for addresses, but thats not likely 
to happen).
