Several classes implement a formatted field that is defined as:

This attribute contains the full physical address including street, locality, region, postalCode, and country as appropriate, and formatted for display.

Is this supposed to be active (e.g. if I change region on an address, it automatically updates), or is this a snapshot?

If we allow diverging formatting, writing these objects back (assuming we do add an edit feature) becomes pretty confusing. If we don't plan on adding edit, why are these fields not readonly?
