Hi Kyle,
Thank you and I am much appreciated of your advice.
Yes, I am using latest format from locale, there are 15 items instead of 14 on the webpage(http://www.eki.ee/itstandard/2000/LC_ADDRESS.shtml).

I think this info you give me is very critical.
"Note that the overall goal here is not to display an address sufficient for mailing a package. Instead, the goal is to provide a readable statement of the user's location in an address-like format."

Based on this purpose, I will delete many other items like "residential", "bus_stop", "district", "sub_district", "company", "corporation", "kindergarten", "hospital" , etc, etc, etc. And will use only what we care about(mainly in the format string returned from C library), just as you have listed above in the answer to my Point 1.
Two points I need to say,
1. for German case, in "$street,$house-number,$zip,$city,$part-of-city,$district,$state,$country,$continent", part-of-city and district will be ignored, is this okay?
2. Is the format returned from C library correct for all countries except only China? what about Indian? If we cannot test all countries for now, we need to test before we launch products in those countries.

I will begin to implement the change asap and reply you the test result.
Thank you so much.
