BR-08 and BR-10: seller and buyer postal address
The address group is mandatory for both parties. BR-08 requires the Seller postal address (BG-5) and BR-10 requires the Buyer postal address (BG-8). Neither rule says what the address must contain beyond the group being present. The country code inside it is checked separately, by BR-09 and BR-11.
