mshelman Salesforce Addresses
The unstructured nature of SFDC addresses can cause big problems for the developer. Other systems use the Addressline idea to break up the street, apartment no, etc. but in SFDC all this is shoved into one large field. For example I'm generating an email to a customer that contains a link to a Yahoo map / driving directions page. The link must contain from and to address information but doesn't work if it contains an apartment number yet there is no good way to distinguish the actual street from apartment number in a Contact MailingStreet field.
