BL can't know, and show, the correct format for each country.

There are ways to have the address checked against postal databases for validity.
Various websites use them.
If BL where to verify only the USA, EU, Germany, France and the Netherlands (the
5 regions with most members), 92% of the addresses would be verified. While
I agree that BL cannot check every country, verifying 92% of addresses is much
better than 0%.

Buyers are responsible for the correctness of their own address.
If BL would use their database to check addresses there might be privacy laws
involved.

This is exactly the problem: Buyers are responsible for the correctness of
their own address.
But BL can and must give the tools to fill it in correctly. (BL cannot check
it)
Do you see the comma between dutch post(zip)code and city??? (also in other
country's like Belgium there is a comma) such commas can cause problems
while the post company's are reading your shipping's with character
recognition.
