Nominatim also uses data that is not in OSM. They did some "imports" into their database. That's why there was a postcode 12 in Reet last year. They removed that one. So it is possible to have postal code nodes that are not in OSM, and which cannot be deleted in the "normal" way of course.
as a side note, someone on the import mailing list proposed to import the AGIV CRAB data in Nominatim and not in OSM. So even addresses can be in Nominatim and not in OSM. They already did this for some US-addresses I believe. regards m On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 5:41 PM, Glenn Plas <[email protected]> wrote: > > > http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=sint-amandsberg#map=17/51.04681/3.75473 > > > > 9040 is NOT hardcoded in Nominatim : > > > Not sure what defines 'hardcoded in Nominatim' to you.
