I did not think about PO Boxes. You are right. Take La Mesa, CA. There
are four zip codes: 91941, 91942, 91943, and 91944. The last two are for
PO Boxes. That zip+4 would indiate a specific PO box, and you could map
to three-dimensional space coordinates. Very good point.

There are very rural areas where addresses are actually directions on
how to get there. Not in this country, though. It was one of them more
third-worldy ones (you know - I heard the report on NPR one
afternoon...)
