Well, yes. But full UK postcodes can cover either all, or part of a street, or a single building - I'd still naturally call them a street level postcode (as opposed to a building or suburb level). I'd assume that the preferred usage would be defined per country in the same way that admin_level and road to highway types are. -- Brian _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
