Michael,

Actually a great question. 

The OASIS Customer Information Query (CIQ) TC [1] defines an "Extensible
Name and Address Language (xNAL)" standard. In my estimation, this is
the most prevalent such standard.

The OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) TC [2] also defines an
address as part of their transactions.

Lastly, the UN/CEFACT Core Component effort [3] is defining a "Core
Component Library" that is to include such constructs as address.

Hope that helps,
