RIS is really limited.  Some bibliography standards are monstrous,
but RIS is too simple.  Additionally, it is poorly specified.

On the other hand, RISX is much better, and this is the actual data
model of RefDB.  I think it's a good compromise with only a few
inconveniences.

Probably.  However, RISX has no tag for it, so I use the <address>
tag currently.  It even seems to be within its semantics, like in

<address>t.b...@fz...; IEF-5, Jülich Forschungszentrum,
Germany</address>

I just have to make sure that the string "IEF-5, Jülich
Forschungszentrum, Germany" is always *exactly* this.  But since
it's only a checkbox in the Web frontend, my own code can assure
this.

Tschö,
Torsten.
