Mph.  Might be worth looking into.

When I was asking for options, I wanted to explore if earlier versions of the
i18n-address package would work; whether it might work to pull it into the
xml2rfc distribution, and other possibilities, if you have suggestions.

Country-specific address formatting.  Without it, you'll be stuck with the
fallback, which is very americentric for the text output, somewhat less so
for the html output (but not very refined).  I'd hate to see it go.
