Honestly, I don't think jCard structured postal addresses are
compatible with many westernized countries as well.
That's why SimpleContact only models the locality and less specific
information. PIDF-LO provides an excellent example of the difficulty
in modeling sub-locality information.
[ML] If the JSContact representation for postal addresses is not enough,
one can simply register a new value for the kind property of the
AddressComponent.
The data structure remains the same but you are able to specify
additional address components without loosing information.
But I imagine that your objection is that representing a postal address
as an extensible array of components is too much work for the clients
and 99% of RDAP addresses don't need
additional components.

In fairness to Mario, I should own up to speaking about non-western
postal address issues in the past on-list and at the microphone, and
as an RIR person.
I think Mario would have been entitled to assume that meant we
expected to use them or did use them.
That I am not involved in the adoption or use of RDAP any more, means
I can't comment to their relevance. But, in times past I did advocate
a view this was important.
(purely as a 'point of information' to this concern)
