I became aware of this PR¹ and you can tell that it seems they haven’t read “Falsehoods programmers believe about addresses”².

“All addresses have [...] street, number, [...] postcode.” Good luck recording addresses in Japan!

UPDATE! @jwass2000 (who opened the PR) and @ian (founder of ) have replied saying that the address schema is intentionally simple at first but will eventually be more sophisticated.

@amapanda @seav Or rural 🇫🇷 France, 🇨🇭 Switzerland, 🇨🇦 Canada, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England (all slightly different), let alone lots of places where buildings just don''t have an address.

And functional addresses in 🇪🇸 Spain may require door & floor information too.
