#456 Postal Code Before/After City
Several desktop programs create Gedcom records with
only subordinate address tags, without the CONT tags.
PhpGedView should print the postal code before the city
or after the city/state based on the CTRY tag value (that
can be written in any language).
If no CTRY tag exists or if the written country spelling
does not exist, then the Gedcom default value
(introduced in V 3.4 CVS) should be used.
The following site defines the postal code position for
several coutries.

The complete address formatting standard is maintained by
the International Postal Union (UPU) in their standard UPU
42-1 which in itself is an extension to the EU standard EN
14142-1.
Assuming that PGV will be a world-wide smashing hit the
management of addres fomatting will be a huge taks if it
shall be done "properly" according to these standards.
I believe however, that international address formatting is
not a task for PGV. It would be a far more flexibe solution
to just store those addresses that are in use as plain text
fields. Leaving the formatting of the address to the author.
