Yes. I've seen it in at least one other organization as well. My point 
is that it hasn't crossed schema boundaries and become universal in the 
way people thought it might. (There might very well be a good reason for 
this. For example, given the potential complexity of addresses, somebody 
designing for a local market might be making a very good design decision 
to ignore all that complexity and simply encode the address schema that 
fits their locale.)
