Wont it just make sense to have a simplified address space with 6 lines of edit boxes each with a label Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Address Line 1: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Address Line 2: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Address Line 3: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Address Line 4: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Address Line 5: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This takes care of all the issues with salutation in name (User decides what he wants to be addressed as) and 5 generic lines for address will take in almost all the addresses in the world. Also I am not sure why address validation should be done by the website. In case a user is entering the address and is expecting correspondence at that address, he will make sure he enters it correctly. Isnt that the way we add address in all the paper forms we submit and the validation is left to the user and I am sure no paper form goes in with a wrong address unless the user purposefully wanted to enter a wrong address.
