Thanks Bill, that's a very nice start.

For interest, the Australian recommendations are a bit different:-

Hi Anthony:

I searched the US Postal Service web site for "address formats" and found
this link with several results:

http://search.usps.com/search_entry.jsp?B=keyword&Enhance=0&QueryText=addres
s+formats

I was not able to find a single link for all English speaking countries.
(I looked on www.Universlathread.com as well.) You might have to query the
official postal web site of the country that interests you.

I hope this helps.
