The properties for adr come directly from RFC 2426
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt
Here is what RFC 2426 has to say on the matter.
The structured type value corresponds,
in sequence, to the post office box; the extended address; the street
address; the locality (e.g., city); the region (e.g., state or
province); the postal code; the country name.
I suspect that the names locality and region were picked as internationally
there are many ways or indicating an
address. The locality doesn't have to be a city, that's just an example that's
given in the quote.
How they can expected to be used is:
extended-address - helpful info that may be required, such as Level 5, or Suite
203
street-address
extended-address - helpful info that may be required, such as suburb
locality - more specific than region
region - more specific than country-name
country-name
The quote from RFC 2426 refers to 'the' locality and 'the' extended
address, which to me, sounds like exactly one.
Is it legitimate to have multiple localities or extended addresses?
Sorry to be difficult and thank you so much for taking the time to
answer !:)
