The topic of address formats has been discussed on this mailing list a few
times over the past years. I thought some of you might get a kick out of
this list of myths about address formats from all over the world:

It contains gems like:
* No buildings are numbered zero.
* A street name won't include a number.
* Street names don't recur in the same city.
* Addresses will be written from most to least specific.
