Interesting .. I did some more digging.. When we are on the "standard track"... http://www.upu.int/en/activities/addressing/addressing-the-world-initiative.html Established in 1874, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) is a specialized agency of the United Nations , 192 member countries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Postal_Union UPU has developed two addressing standards: S42 and S53. http://www.upu.int/en/activities/addressing/standards.html I have not looked at UPU S42 and S53 to vertify if its part of xNAL standard. As a side note (The long run ?): UPU has a Universal POST*CODE® DataBase http://www.upu.int/en/resources/postcodes/universal-postcoder-database.html Sad: UPU is an UN orgnaistaion, and you have to sign a "Non-Disclosure Agreement - POST*CODE User" .... (From "Licence Documents") POST*CODE® DataBase "it was very expensive" - recommends GEONAMES http://www.clarion-software.com/index.php?group=6&id=52433 And the price is high.. (From "Licence Documents") 1 Basic licence WORLD (191 countries) 10 880 CHF GEONAMES http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoNames Perl: Geo::GeoNames http://search.cpan.org/~perhenrik/Geo-GeoNames/lib/Geo/GeoNames.pm or OpenStreetmap.org http://www.openstreetmap.org/ (Has all the Norwegian postcodes ) used by http://www.fiksgatami.no/ (fix my street) (www.mysociety.org/) or the openaddresses.org intiative: http://code.google.com/p/openaddresses/ -- Håvard Sørli - http:/www.anix.no ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
