The short answer is no. Extracting the ZIP code from this
<address>
<street>Steenstraat 55</street>
<ZIP>1800</ZIP> Vilvoorde <country>BELGIUM</country>
</address>
is not much different than extracting it from
<address>
<ZIP>1800</ZIP> Vilvoorde
<street>Steenstraat 55</street>
<country>BELGIUM</country>
</address>
However you could require a specific ordering of elements in the
Document Type Definition ... if you define one.
