Very timely thread, as we're revamping our site to allow for international postal codes in the zip code field.
We plan to allow for different punctuation in zip codes, but does anyone know if there are any countries with non-numeric postal codes, or that allow alpha characters in their codes? Is there an ISO standard or other reference that explains the nuances we can expect?

ZIP codes are applicable in almost all the countries in the world though they use slighlty different names (Like Pin Code in India). But since ZIP code has become a fairly standard field in address input forms most people identify with it and enter their specific country based code. One point to remember though is that the code length is different (US I believe uses 5 digit number where as in India its 6 and I am sure other countries will have a different size). So it will make sense to keep the length open or limit to say 10 digits.
