Almost nobody I've talked to agrees with me, but... I think the best address solution is to trust your users. Users know best. Specifically they know best what their address is and how it should be formated. Users are more likely to know about changes to their countries addressing scheme. Etc, etc. With that in mind the best way to handle varying international addresses is with a largish char column backend and multiline text input box on frontend. -- Norman J.
