Steve, I suggest you start your proposal with a problem statement and then explain how your solution solves the problem. Otherwise it looks to me to be a solution looking for a problem. Do we have any data to suggest that the current street addresses do not work? Why is it just a US problem?
If you provide a problem statement then we can have a discussion about 1) is it a real problem and how big is it and 2) what is the best way to solve the problem.
