<div>No, that get's very unwieldy, very quickly, especially

<p>Here Post offices are the only ones that 'deliver' to PO Boxes.
Very few outside contractors interface with the Post Office to
enable PO Box delivery. Similar comments for RMBs etc. I think
similar comments applies to other PO Boxes around the world? <br>
</p>
<p>For remote places again few contractors would be delivering to a
specific place, they usually contact the place and have them come
and pick up from their 'local' depot. <br>
</p>
<p>That trip can be a few hours there and a few hours back. For this
reason most remote places prefer the official Post Office delivery
system as it gets the mail closer to them. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As for different ways of spelling/formatting. Mistakes will occur
just as they do in naming streets with 'Rd' or 'rd' rather than
Road. In any country where there is an officially desired
spelling/format then that can be referenced and values corrected
to it. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For 'other' delivery providers they may prefer to use the other
addr keys? <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I refer to the 'address' of t<code>he Barkly Homestead; <br>

<span>"PRIVATE MAIL BAG 32</span><br>
<span>Tennant Creek</span><br>
<span></span><span>Northern Territory 0862</span></p>
<p><span>Australia"</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>At present within OSM there is no contact nor address
information there. <br>

<p>For other deliveries? <br>
</p>
" 19.7107° S, 135.8275° E<br>
<p>Situated on the Barkly Highway <br>

<p>between Tennant Creek - NT and Camooweal - QLD"</p>
<p>Note - no house number, lot number etc... locals and those
traveling through will simply 'know' of its location. <br>

<div>Yep, in whichever format it appears <br>

<br>
<p>The format may change from country to country. I listed what is
officially accepted by the Post Office here. <br>
</p>
<p>OSM will need to accept that formats will change, as may the
language. <br>
</p>
<p>I am occasionally questioned when sending things overseas as to
the address, it being particularly long. <br>
</p>
<p>My relatives assure me that it is correct and needed to ensure
correct delivery. <br>

<div>I'd suggest addr:mail= whatever you want to list out of

<p>Whatever key is used there will need to be some sort of format of
the value to identify CRLF, particularly if the key is to carry
the entire address (country, postcode, state, town/city/ etc) in
the format wanted by the delivering organization. I am assuming
that the complete address will need to be placed here as it may
vary from what is entered in the other addr tags. <br>
