| Hi
it would be nice if every user would have his address and name as a normalized
form.
Especially in aspect to the use of the API to work with the address for shipping
and invoice.

No.
The required format is different in every country.

Although true, it would be nice to have it formatted like this
Name:
Address/Address Line 1:
Address Line 2 (If applicable):
City:
State/Province/whatever is applicable:
Postal/Zip code:
Country:
And actually have the words above in the applicable language. Sorry, but some
address are too darn confusing just to "guess" and messaging a customer shouldn't
be needed.

If you convince the world to use:
Name
Address/Address Line 1
Address Line 2 (If applicable)
Postal code - Double space - CITY in capitals
COUNTRY also in capitals

The other one does not work for the Netherlands
The current system is not prefect, but it is much better than the alternatives
that force people to use incorrect formats.

Europe.

| This works ok for the U.K.
No idea for mainland Europe postal systems.
