Maybe they have. But since an address may be a partial address, for
some means of contact, this may not do. We permit users to add an
address which is only an email or a telephone number.
Delivery companies tend to avoid post-office boxes.
An address is not only street name/post office box, zip code and city,
but could includes the name. For instance, say that a copy of my account
statement goes to my account statement goes to my auditor, and the
address goes:
Erland Sommarskog
c/o Janssons Revisionsbyrε
Stora lillgatan 23
234 34 MELLANSTAD
An address could also include an attention line, or a department
specification etc.
And even if the address is just street address and number, I have no idea
my home has any "SAN" - even less what it would be.
