The OSM data for http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postcodes/osm-errors.html comes from http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/ and it's currently the latest available. At the moment, the updates are scripted but I have to launch them manually. I haven't quite figured out what to do with automating at the moment, but since it's quick and resource-light to refresh the taginfo data, frequent updates are certainly possible. To do some more interesting comparisons, one would need to get the actual OSM data, so you could look at the locations of each addr:postcode object, and compare this to the location in Code-Point Open. Updates here would be more costly -- but that's something for a later date. By the way, running bots is not something I've ever tried and setting something up to fix some of the obviously mal-formatted postcodes probably isn't something I'll have time to look at any time soon. So if anyone else wants to do this, please don't feel you'd be stepping on my toes at all. In terms of automated edits, I'd certainly support anyone stripping whitespace from the end of addr:postcode tags, and changing multiple whitespace characters in the middle to a single space. I'd probably also support the addition of a space to anything that is a correctly formatted postcode with the middle space missing. e.g. /^[A-Z][A-Z]?[0-9][0-9A-Z]?[0-9][A-Z][A-Z]$/, and the uppercasing of anything that is correctly formatted, apart from the case of the letters. These changes should fix most of http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postcodes/osm-errors.html#spacing and http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postcodes/osm-errors.html#case .
