Drupal 7 has been addressing :-P these issues with an "addressfield"
module ( http://drupal.org/project/addressfield ), which aims to
incorporate the flexibility of xNAL -
http://xml.coverpages.org/xnal.html
.The challenge for xNAL is to provide the ability to handle the following: - About 36+ customer name formats - Addresses of 241+ Countries - About 130+ Address Formats - Represented in 5,000+ languages (dialects) - Should be application independent, ie., capable of being used for a variety of applications ranging from simple user profiling to name and address parsing, matching, validation and postal services - Should be Platform independent - Should be open, and - Should be vendor neutral. Might as well incorporate the discovery done by others! I haven't looked into how Addressfield stores its data -- it does have to deal with similar location issues for tax jurisdiction as LSMB, and Drupal obviously uses a relational database instead of an XML object database, so I'd say it's worth seeing how they modeled this problem...
