So why are there any limitations for the contact-fields-length (org,name, streets,state,city,phone,fax) ? If you want some limitations use 255 chars for all of them, that should fit most of the needs for all contacts. The fact, that this length is too big for an envelope-address-field shouldn't be restricted in a draft specification/standard. IMHO, this is a matter of a registries policy implementing this draft.
