The approach I proposed does not suffer from this. OK, so you are aiming higher to please both parties, i.e. those who place a single address but cruft at the end would get the cruft stripped when we grab a usable address from the field, and those who write two or more addresses would get all of these addresses? That approach may still constrain what those in the former camp can write in the "cruft" part, like they cannot write comma or semicolon as part of the "cruft", no? If that does not pose a practical problem, then I can imagine it would work well for people in both camps.
