Re: [w3c/payment-request] PaymentAddress 'region' inconsistencies (#663)

Thanks for your response.

Three letter codes would be fine for Australia. Even 1 letter codes for Ireland - if the response values were always consistent and therefore an expected value.

I understand what you mean in terms of requiring the region in every country maybe not working the best. I am actually located in Ireland, and you are correct, we don't always need the county (however that is only in Dublin where there is Dublin 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Therefore, we are used to always stating our county also on most address forms, or making our addresses fit online forms.

If these addresses were just for reference / printing on a shipping label, there would be no issue. It really is that need to validate addresses against regions, especially in countries where it is common for merchants to only ship to certain regions within a country. Coming from a country where our addresses don't usually fit online address forms (also only introduced postcodes in the last year or two), I don't think it is much effort for users to enter their region once off in their browser saved address, as they would then have all the benefits of using payment request checkout thereafter.
