Be afraid. Be very afraid. Postal address stuff is a
mess. However, there are a number of ISO and IETF
standards (e.g. vCard) that attempt to address this
problem. It is probably better to adopt their conventions
than come up with yet another way of doing it. We can
say "go see RFC XXXX for the details" and leave it at that.
Cheers,
