No, I do not believe that addresses should be limited to co-ordinate 
systems because this is not required for all use-cases.
A string/text address is an acceptable form.
Further, given a generic concept 'Address' it is possible to annotate it 
to specify a) single-line text address e.g. schema.org b) specific 
components of address like street and post-code e.g. schema.org c) 
co-ordinates e.g. dbpedia latd/longd

I don't know how to resolve this legally.
To my understanding, a joint controller is a combined legal entity 
comprised of two or more controllers where the joint controller acts as 
a (single) controller for the purposes of interpreting GDPR obligations.
Therefore, a joint controller *is a* controller.

Now GDPR Art 4-7 defines 'controller' as "the natural or legal person, 
public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with 
others..."

I do not agree with separate controller as a good title, maybe 
independent controller is more appropriate?

a) So we either have a concept called 'independent controller' and 
'joint controller' as subclasses of 'controller'; OR
b) We only have 'joint controller' and instance of (only) 'controller' 
means independent controller.

If we go with (a), then it means there can be no instances of 
'Controller', and most adopters would have to use 
'IndependentController' - which is not what I would be happy with in 
general usage - which is actually (b).

But this is my limited notion from the pov of technicalities. A legal 
expert should resolve this IMO.

What are you proposing the DPV should provide?
