This would have a side effect of consolidating > the input and display formatting into central locations. > > No data model changes are required, though a case could be made for > adding a field "address3" to the postal address entity. > > To start, this could be as simple as having two generic templates: > > Address 1 > Address 2 > Address 3* > City, State, Postal Code > > or > > Address 1 > Address 2 > Address 3* > Postal Code, City, State > > (this is how UPS handles formatting for their Smart Labels, except > they display Address 321 instead of 123) > > and then adding more country-specific templates as desired. > > Is there any additional interest in this?
