Description
I've created cck_address_belgium based on cck_address_canada. I've tested postal code validation and added the provinces.
However, I'm not sure how to proceed on the locales. I used en_US, but ideally it should be nl_BE and fr_BE, but those resulted in "unknown locale" errors. Currently the province names are entered in Dutch while the locale is set to en_US. I'll change this if you can point out to me how to proceed.
Next up is country support for The Netherlands.

locales are tricky because the user has to have those locales installed and enabled on their computer. it's an OS thing, not a web or drupal thing. so, if you're running windows for example, go to start->help and do a search for locale settings. there should be instructions for how to enable more locales. at least, that's what I did to get french to work on the canadian module. using locales allows any crazy (non-english) characters to be validated correctly. presumably, someone living in a particular country will already have these locales enabled when they installed.
the only flaw i see in the way i've done this is in the case where someone in one country wants to enter characters from another (as you did in testing). i'm not sure of a good way to work around this.
did i not explain any of this in the readme? let me know, and if not, i'll add it. i got your email and answered some of your other questions there.

@jpoesen, if you get CVS access here on Drupal.org, I can give you access to the new project I started here: http://drupal.org/project/cck_address_extensions
I added your module and the one for Mexico there.
