--- Comment #1 from Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com> ---
I think we should deprecate most parts of LC_ADDRESS because the data model is
not correct. ISO/IEC TR 14652:2002 does not improve things, I'm afraid.
The key problem is the assumption of a single address format per locale, which
I doubt is correct for any country. For example, in Germany, there are valid
postal addresses which lack a street, and the definition of %N in the TR
results in leading spaces before the zip code in this case.
