I propose that there be a national LDAP service, with OUs for each 
zipcode (|ou=20500,dc=us,dc=gov)|. A household could register at 
USPS.gov and then be given write access to a household OU ("ou=1600 
Pennsylvania Ave NW,|ou=20500,dc=us,dc=gov|"). The household OU could 
then create inetOrgPersons under that, each of which would have 
self-write access.
