I have the following fields:

address (string)
city (string)
postalcode (string, really!)
state-or-province (string)
country (string)

Keep in mind some countries have a different way of using postal mail  
addresses, e.g. :

Belgium/Netherlands:

Street Number (yes, first street name, then number)
Postalcode City
Country
(province is not used, because belgium is a very small country  
anyway :-))


Best regards
