One thing I noticed is the very inadequate attempt to specify a street 
address.

Many years ago I ran a mailing list to print sticky labels for a little 
magazine. I live in Melbourne Australia and a recipient lived inside a 
hospital in London. His street address component required 6 lines, 
whereas GedcomX only specifies street/street2/street3 :-(.
