Not quite sure what the problem is but British Standard BS7666 on
Geographical referencing including UPRNs has been around since 2002.

The Fish forum wisely won't let me post to it! SO an off- discussion
response to your query about addresses.
Peter
With regard to your standards for adresses I would be wary of anything
involving the Royal Mail - there may be copyright implications with
their datasets. There have been had difficulties with Postcode data in
this respect in the past - even though you would think it would be an
advantage to display the postcode boundaries on a map. That is why
websites exist that enable a limited number of searches on postcode use
per day before charging!
There is the OS MasterMap address point data but you would need to
investigate what lies behind it in temrs of copyright again.
In Scotland the councils are developing UPRN (unique property reference
number) and I believe there is a similar reference system for England.
The UPRN gives each address - including object not dealt with by other
systems - a unique number. It would seem logical to tie into that type
of initiative.
