I made a post yesterday about address forms, and the uselessness of entering city and state when you're going to enter a zip code anyway (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2525286).
I spent most of the day today coming up with a solution to the problem using Google maps geocoding API.
Nice work. These implementations are generally country specific as they are dependent on country-specific databases. Your one seems to have the potential to be worldwide, although you've hard coded it to US for the proof-of-concept.
A very common frustration for non-US people is when the address form has "State" as a required field, even though you have selected another country. This would take that away.
