What's addr:parentstreet? I can't find anything on the wiki about it.

See the blurb at the top of http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/addresses/street-warnings/LA.html and the recent mailing list discussion on talk-gb (‘Errors in Street Names in Addresses’).
tl;dr: addr:parentstreet does nothing except to make the errors go away on the street warnings list. In the future, if it picks up traction, some other tools might start to key off it.

It would also be relevant for the places where we have (for example) addr:street=Woolpack Yard and the address checker expects addr:street=Highgate. However, changing all those nodes consistently would be a massive effort and I’m not sufficiently convinced of the value or longevity of addr:parentstreet yet. Maybe all the yards could be changed if this does pick up steam.

Good point with the yards. It could probably do with being on the wiki though so it's use is more apparent.
