Hi Arto,

And thanks for the link - I will take a look.

Here's an interesting site I found while searching for information on
addresses - http://www.vianica.com/nicaragua/14-addresses.html. It seems
Nicaragua has a unique way of creating addresses based on directions from a
known location. I wouldn't like to have to generate the XML for that!
