I don't have a list of such structures, but in case you don't find such a
list, you could start making one. Here is one data point. The format of
Japanese addresses in English can be found at

http://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/addresses.html

There is also a link at the bottom of the page to the Japanese postal code
database.

Someone at Wikipedia plagiarised the above page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_addressing_system

Perhaps there are other pages in Wikipedia which will help.

I believe Wikipedia was written in PHP so perhaps that takes us back on
topic.

If you do find a list, please let me know.
