[thelist] international friendly form

[Jonathon Isaac Swiderski]

I think my solution would be to skip the drops entirely.  Just give 'em a 
textbox of 6 lines, and tell 'em to fill in their mailing address.  If 
they give you "Texas" instead of "TX" or "Quebec" instead of "QC"  (i seem 
to recall this being "PQ" a while ago?), If won't kill you to fix it.

As far as I can recall seeing, most addresses internationally are simple 
variants on Mike's:

XXX Main St *or*  Main St XXX
City ZZZ    *or*  ZZZ City
COUNTRY

Like France, most countries skip the province-equivalent.  In fact, I'm 
not even sure why the USPS requires it -- like he said, it's implied by 
the ZIP code. (or, rather, skipped by it).
