	Well, since you're then apparently willing to look at ASN.1, how
about looking at X.500, LDAP, etc? These provide very broadly used
definitions for addresses, phone numbers, etc. that have been in use for a
very long time.
	For stuff defined specifically with XML in mind, the UBL work is
well worth a look.
