Since Google doesn't support "structured" postal addresses (or name
for that matter) so we have to make a guess at what the various fields
are. We've spent quite a bit of time on this, and it works pretty well
for US and Canadian addresses, but starts to degrade with addresses
that are formatted differently, and formatting varies widely from
country to country.

If you could post a few examples of addresses that are not parsing
correctly (with any private data stripped out) I could see if we could
tweak the parser to work with them better.

The ultimate solution will be for Google to support structured
addresses in their Contacts API, something we and everyone else who
uses the API is eager to see.

Thanks,
Charlie
