I'd agree, except for the fact that the primary tag happens to be named
"post office".  If it were amenity=shipping, no problem.

I know, the tag shouldn't really matter - it should be treated as a
codeword.  And we'd probably eventually get used to it just like we've
gotten used to silly things like calling a dirt bike path a "highway".  But
then again, "post office" isn't used anywhere near as much as "highway", so
it'd probably cause a good amount of confusion with people using the
editors.

So, I dunno, I don't "vote" either way.  If I were king of the world I'd
change the tag to amenity=shipping.  But that might not go over well with
the non-US mappers.
