--- 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.
