Motivation

----------

    « What ties us to territory is tax. »

    -- Kevin Deldycke, 2014-11-07

The reason above is why we need fine-grained and meticulous territory

management and normalization. This project aims to solve this problem once for

all.

Don't get me wrong, this work is a huge undertaking. Postal address parsing,

normalization and rendering is hard. See the collection of `falsehoods

programmers believe about postal addresses

`_.

This library is still in its early stages, but is good enough to implement

the new European Directives on VAT, which requires all e-commerce shops to

guess the locality of their EU customers depending on their billing address.
