You're probably aware that the 'place' key is used for countries, states, cities, towns, villages, suburbs etc http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Places The 'postal_code' key also makes an appearance nearby in the next table down. What type of non-address thing are you trying to find a key for? If this is about the keys for the ABS bulk import, they seem to be either; 1. Taken from the Map Features page and part of JOSMs presets 2. Taken from the Map Features page and not part of JOSMs presets 3. Not part of the Map Features page and not part of JOSMs presets (made up to suit particular data that was included) I've found another example that may relate to a bulk import using data from the Geographical Names Board of NSW to insert a single Suburb node with the suburb name and some reference keys. In this case, they've been careful to use the 'ref:*=' key which I think is ignored in validator plugin by default. The 'making up' of keys isn't a problem as the need requires, it's more a matter of finding a practical way to remove them from warnings in validator plugin where they are widely used, such as a bulk import that affects all of Australia, or one that places a node in every suburb or town in NSW. Given the response from JOSM developers to comments in your ticket about removing unnamed roundabouts from the validator warnings, I'm starting to think that an Australian config file is going to be the solution, addressing the differences in editing styles and key usage here as opposed to Germany where the program seems to be largely developed. > Which brings me back to postal_code, should this be ignored or what should we > do about this specifically? > My view is that the 'postal_code' key should be ignored, together with any other key used for this bulk import as listed on the specific ABS import wiki page.
