I believe this is a very limiting view of both, the scope of OSM and the 
question of verifiability, and it is far from true: „On the ground“ you can ask 
a shop owner for her email address or phone number, so the verifiability is 
there. You can also often get this information from customer receipts, business 
cards, websites, advertising, a note in the window, etc.

I agree that these special postcodes are not about a physical address of the 
kind we have specific interest in, but I would not dismiss them as completely 
out of scope. They are in the same category as email addresses and similar, a 
way to contact the business.

cheers,
Martin
