I think the UK examples are quite good though. They show that you don't even have to change language to run into massive problems with addresses. More than being anglo-centric, the issue of addresses is often even more specific, i.e. US specific. Japan et. al. add another layer of complexity, other text encodings etc. etc., but even in the seemingly simple case of English being used, it's not quite as simple as many forms make it out to be.
