Hi,

I raised this topic some weeks ago, see thread "pretty printing of street 
addresses":

http://lists.kde.org/?t=103063041800001&r=1&w=2

I found quite some resources of international address formatting information, 
some of them in a "named-tags" like format, some not:

http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/internationaladdressing.html
http://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats.html#Formats

The licensing information is not clear, but I believe it should be okay if we 
make up our own parsable address format description from one of them instead 
of just copying the named-tags thing.

I think I offered to look into this, and I still would like to, but the last 
weeks showed I hardly find the time to do even an hour of coding :(
However, as right now I've got the flu and have to sit at home anyways, I can 
just as well have a look at it...

-Jost.
