I'm okay as long as we do it in a locale friendly way.  For instance, use
while city is fine everywhere (even those in towns, villages, etc) can
understand it, zip code isn't (Postal code, zip code, nothing, etc).  Even 
worse is state (province, state, region, nothing, etc).  So we need to some
up with some good labels, that are locale friendly.  Something like

Street address
postal box
city 
region
postal code
country

I think there is an rfc about this stuff, but I don't think it is really
very well localized either.

Otherwise, I like the idea.
