Labelling is compatible with my suggestion. One possibility would be
to use NOV extension-field syntax without the colons:
address street 600 Mountain Ave. city Murray Hill state NJ postcode 07974-2070 country USA
or something that more obviously permits arbitrary substructure:
address
country USA
postcode 07974-2070
state NJ
city Murray Hill
street
number 600
name Mountain Ave.
or even reflects the geographical hierarchy of the address:
address
country USA
postcode 07974-2070
state NJ
city Murray Hill
street Mountain Ave.
number 600
building 2
section C
room 501
person G. R. Emlin
None of these possibilities require the visible punctuation of either
XML or Lisp, and I've come to appreciate the lack of visual noise.
Presotto's wonderful pseudo-XML,
<message type=answer><sentence><word><pronoun flavor=personal pos=subject>I</pronoun></word><word>
<verb flavor=active type=contraction>haven't</verb></word><noun-phrase><word><article flavor=indefinite>
an</article></word><word><noun pos=object>opinion</noun></word></noun-phrase><diacritical>.</diaciritical>
</sentence></message>
strikes me as JCL for the 21st century.
