The tests I apply in such cases, are:
What would I type into my computer's address programme (or
calendar, for hCal, and so on), if entering the details
manually?
If I were to print an address label (to attach to a postal
packet, say) what would I want my computer to output?
To me, those make it clear that the correct data is, in the example
given, "PO Box 5674"; note that other valid UK postal addresses might
be:
BFPO 1234
Belize
Freepost ABCD
Anytown
Bin 21
Acme Mail Services
Anytown
all of which have "post-office-box" data as their first line.
