so.. us addresses only?

Yep! Unfortunately we will manually have to add support for each country (including getting data, normalizing it, etc.) which is quite some work. We're planning to add support for additional countries if demand is high enough.
Separating a street name into "street" and "suffix" is a baffling decision which probably has a few issues even in the US, and definitely won't work elsewhere.
Nope, it won't work outside the US. But US addresses actually have a list of suffixes that all ordinary addresses comply to. See https://www.usps.com/send/official-abbreviations.htm
Agreed, this is unusable for us until there's international support. We have a large percentage of international users in 130 different countries. Doesn't make sense to use this over, say, MapQuest.
