Hi Phil,
Just a couple of thoughts on regular postal addresses.
1. For things that have regular postal addresses, please bear in mind
that these are not set in stone for all eternity. Postcodes, house
numbers, counties etc all change. For each of these non-permanent
addresses the date for that addresses currency should also be stored.
2. A related point is that 'fields' in postal addresses don't always
correlate to the 'real world'. An example: Middlesex is regarded as a
county by the Post Office. However it exist as an administrative area,
and is now split between several London boroughs and Surrey.
