General idea is that address one is your real address.  Address two is
non-address data, commonly delivery data or other instructions.  Could
also be for locality.  Could be things like:

* Delivery annotations (e.g. Entrance 2, 4th floor, Suite 123; 
  Loading dock 5; Leave packages with front office; Use back door)
* Location descriptions (e.g. Corner of 26th and Speedway Drive)
* Internal or locality-based "mail drop" or "mail route" codes.

Of course, you could just create a new field for these things, since they
really are not addresses...

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
