Back to the Data Model.
The Addresses Table shown in the Data Model is compatible with the two-line Standard recommended by the
US Postal Service.
It is also compatible with the UK standard, which favors 4 lines.
Here's a discussion of the Universal Postal Union UPU S42
International Address Standard, published in 2003.
Wikipedia has an interesting article on Postal Code.
WorldVU specialises in advising on Worldwide Addressing and Mailing problems.
Waytag suggests a novel approach that "reduces long addresses to one simple word."
This is the reverse of what the British Post Office (and probably all the others) do when they break an Address down to basic components.
