Hi Warin.
Isn't the addr:* scheme used to describe the physical address of a
location/building/amentiy/etc.?
PO Boxes, privat bags etc. are addresses where mail for someone residing
at said location is delivered to.
As addr:* I would always put in what is needed to find the place as a
visitor and that is a housenumbet and street, a house name or any other
place name. And sometimes there might be nothing besides city or postcode.
Mail delivery address I would expect to find under the contact:* scheme
if at all.

While there are methods of entering street addresses there don't appear
to be any way to enter addresses that use Post Office Boxes and other
delivery types.
There is a proposal to may the existence of PO Boxes but no way to enter the
address data for those that use them.
As well as PO Boxes there exits several types of delivery methods in
Australia, below are listed all of the officially accepted types with their
officially accepted abbreviations.
Care of Post Office CARE PO
Community Mail Agent. CMA
Community Mail Bag CMB
Community Postal Agent CPA
General Post Office Box GPO BOX
Locked Bag LOCKED BAG
Mail Service MS
Post Office Box PO BOX
Roadside Delivery RSD
Roadside Mail Box/Bag RMB
Roadside Mail Service RMS
Private Bag PRIVATE BAG
These all appear in the same placement of the addressed article. Perhaps
a new tag addr:delivery_type=* could be used?
Examples>
Mr Smith
PRIVATE BAG 32
Tennant Creek
Northern Territory 0862
addr:delivery_type=PRIVATE BAG 32
Mr Jones
GPO BOX 3
Sydney
NSW 2000
addr:delivery_type=GPO BOX 3
In these cases there is no house number, street. There are still
city/state/country and postal codes.
