Interesting idea, and one I'll likely use elsewhere. We already test the postal code against a regex so that it at least has to be a valid postal code... I'll think that I'll propose this idea to the purse-strings holder (ie our client)
In our current case, any address information they provide is strictly optional. However, we do want it to be reasonably accurate (therefore the pulldown of cities). ...But using only the postal code to populate the city/province is a good one! It means that the web users have fewer places to interact, less places to make errors, we ask them for fewer peices of information... hmmm...
