But in some countries, the floor information is actually part of the
address. Here are a couple of examples from my country:

*German Embassy Manila*
25/F Tower 2, RCBC Plaza, 6819 Ayala Ave (cor Sen. Gil Puyat Ave), Makati
City, Metro Manila

*Myanmar Embassy*
8th Floor, Xanland Centre, 152 Amorsolo Street, Legaspi Village, Makati
City, Metro Manila

So addr:floor=* makes a lot of sense.
