That would be a most unusual scenario IMO: I've never encountered such
a format. Postal addresses are usually quite "structured", I guess
nobody would impose a pattern on a single giant address (textarea),
instead multiple form elements (input) could be used together to
compose a postal address, even to provide a finer grain check on
user's data.

My two cents.
