Hi,<br>
<p>In looking for information on BS7666, the Association for
Geographic Information appeared. They have guidelines for creation
of gazetteers which also suggest that BS7666 leans towards
geographic addresses rather than postal addresses (street
reference, locality name, town name).<br>

The AGI has a lovely comment on modelling street naming and
modelling (Guidelines Section 1, Page 10, 4.6):
