Basically I'm using a semi-automatic process which takes all the know data points (e.g. buildings/nodes with an explicit postal code tagged to them) in OSM, generate voronoi cells and then merge them to larger regions. Then I do manually editing and clean up in my tool (aligning boundaries more nicely, reducing number of nodes, etc) and finally want to import the results as new relations into OSM. I did some evaluations on Austria against a real life data set and although the computed regions can only be an approximation, it did improve the quality of answers a lot! I did some basic write up of the details plus screenshots here:
Invented non-real world data like this simply doesn't belong in OpenStreetMap I'm afraid.
I mean feel free to generate these areas and make them available for geocoding etc but they're not real things and they clearly can't be verified by anybody because they don't actually exist.
