Ah, I see that tagging would create a lot of false positives in my tool and make it much less useful! My understanding is that addr:postcode should be used only as part of an address. So if you want to put a postcode on a street (or part of a street) then addr:postcode isn't the best tag to use. Instead, there's a postal_code=* tag defined in the wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:postal_code which would seem to be more appropriate for this use case. What do other people think?
