RE: Geolication API level 2 - editor's draft

I think each field needs to be freeform - e.g. Postal codes in the UK are alphanumerical as one example.

Also, there might be more subtly to the order of the fields than first meets the eye - in Japan the order of address fields (in terms of accuracy) is different than in the US.

I propose that we move postalCode from its position at the bottom of
the interface, to between "city" and "street".  In this way, the
precision of the location increases with each field.

it is not mentioned, but we should state that each attribute can be
null.

should the zip code be required to be in some sort of format?  An
extended ZIP + 4?  Or should it be freeform?
