True, the notion of a literal "street" and "street number" are not used in addresses in Japan. But I don't think developers in Japan would have any trouble logically mapping the equivalent to a "street" and "street number" field. And I know There's also a particular issue with Tokyo in that it's not really a city in the same way that most cities in Japan are -- but instead a collection of what's translated as "wards" but which are really more of cities unto themselves. Anyway, looking at my own home address: 160-0023東京都新宿区西新宿6-16-11三井ビル605 The way I guess I'd map that is: region 東京都 (Tokyo) city 新宿区 (Shinjuku) street 西新宿 (West Shinjuku) street number 6-16-11 premises 三井ビル605 (Mitsui Building #605) postalcode 160-0023 -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/
