Google Maps Address Components Geocoding vs Places API - Short vs Long Name

问题

Hey there GMaps API developers. To start - what an incredible product and service the Google Maps/JS API v3 is - thank you so much! Now, with that important bit of sincere gratitude out of the way...

The short_name vs long_name options for address components is a nice feature, but for each service these two attributes mostly contain the same values, except geocode has what I would expect for short_name for both and places has what I would expect for long_name for both! *tears*

Before Places library came out I just assumed that Google didn't actually have short/long versions for street name, localities, etc - but now it seems you do have that formatting somewhere - maybe different product teams have different databases?

So what's the deal?

Image of what I'm talking about (would embed but this is my first stackoverflow question so no reputation): http://i.imgur.com/XPVj8.png

Detailed list of how I wish this worked:

for routes, geocode's short_name places' long_name
have the same "types" value for locality/sublocality between geocode and places (either is fine, just pick one)
consistently provide short/long for state (administrative_area_level_1) - geocode gets this right but places doesn't
same for country - and where is geocode getting its "USA" in the formatted address?
would be neat if postal_code long_name had zip+4, but I would imagine that'd be a huge endeavor from a data standpoint

Thanks so much - looking forward to any insight on this behavior!
