What about subtle formatting differences (Country, Territory, Postal code is the norm. Doesn't have to be.). What if we applied this to hand written addresses? (Adding an OCR component).

I'm sure the USPS is already doing this and more, and if not, there's probably some AI jobs lined up for it :)

Yes, USPS has Remote Encoding Centers (REC) to handle handwritten address that can't be recognized with OCR. So AI is already there, just that humans are for harder and tedious jobs ;-)
