I'll try again with associated street on Sas or Dijkstraat, Bornem and let you know my findings. At this moment they return 9140 instead of 2880 (Bornem).
I'll do one with postal code and the other with associated street.

It will be interesting to see what the outcome of that little test will be.

btw, I've been fixing some postal codes too on roads across the border between zemst and mechelen, I decide based on AGIV data. I've notices some roads had the correct name (either on the relation or on it's own) but the wrong postal code (hence also the name).

The borders there are a not entirely accurate, for example Boterstraat and Kleine Parijsstraat. See http://simon04.dev.openstreetmap.org/whodidit/?zoom=14&lat=50.99405&lon=4.44663&layers=BTT&user=Glenn%20Plas&age=6%20month

When checking with AGIV, you cannot find Boterstraat in zemst but you can in hombeek (Mechelen). Sometimes they exist in both of course, not these 2 though.

One other thing, I noticed a lot of people use source=wikipedia , which is our duty to add, but at that moment also consider adding more detail using key wikipedia=<language:Page>.

Take a look at this node http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/106946183
having wikipedia=nl:Chiro set.

Links on the subject are http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikipedia and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia for more information. You can click through vast amounts of docs there on how this is used. It's widely supported on software presenting OSM data, but that only has about 120000 of those currently in it.

Check out http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM if you are interested in details.

there is a plugin as well : http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Plugin/Wikipedia
