Capturing international addresses!!

[aMen]

The most complex feature of any web form, is to capture postal
addresses for international customers!!
Gone are the days, when we could assume that everyone had a zip
code!!!

This airticle by Luke from Yahoo, explains the problem.

Does Google have a unversal solution, without Google maps of course!!!
Any one got a clue??

The questions is simple, how do I capture the postal address of an
international audience, with ease and validation??

Hi

it's a old old problem. You should have a look here EDIFACT is
struggling with this kind of problem since a long time now.

There seems to be a very smart soultion @ http://pygmalion.tcs.com ,
problem is you gotta register/login to see the solution, so far I
guess this is the best...... people outside the united states will
agree with me.

But does GWT offer something for this??
