Freeform text addresses might not be good for conversion to hcard/ vcard but can still be very useful to humans! - it seems obvious to me that people out there (regardless of what anyone says) will try to stick them in adr somehow!

Perhaps we do need some way to mark up such addresses so that there could be export tools that give the user options to split them?

I don't understand why we need some way to mark up such addresses. Aren't publishers already marking them up with class="adr"? A while back I wrote a tool to insert geo coordinates in hCards based on addresses:

That doesn't require any structure to addresses, so it works fine with adr as unstructured text. I think we'd have a hard time coming up with a better solution to this problem than the one that's already working in practice.
