A nationwide standard might exist in some countries, but also for Germany and 
Italy, the countries I know best, I can confirm that there is no such standard, 
but it is done on a municipal or regional level, and in the case of Berlin 
(admin level 4) you can even find different systems within the same city (for 
historic reasons). This said, the current scheme was until now sufficient to 
deal with all these variants, so I would be interested to learn which are the  
incompatible parts in the US scheme.

Cheers,
Martin
