                all,<br>
                <br>
                recently I came across postal codes in POI addresses,
                which aren't the classic scheme addr:postcode &
                addr:city & addr:street & addr:housenumber.
                However it is a special postcode that is assigned to
                recipients that receive a big amount of post every day,
                typically big companies or authorities. This kind of
                postcode is used only together with addr:city and does
                not require street and housenumber. So to say the post
                company has a big sack for post to that special
                postcode, puts in all the letters that are addressed to
                it and delivers the sack to the recipient.<br>
                After some discussion in the german user forum <a
                  href="https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=60421"
                  rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
                  moz-do-not-send="true">https://forum.openstreetmap.or<wbr>g/viewtopic.php?id=60421</a>
                I want to propose a tag for this kind of postcode and
                would like to discuss it here in the tagging mailing
                list.<br>
                <br>
                The proposal is:  addr:postcode_major_recipient<br>
                <br>
                It should be used on POIs, because it is an attribute of
                the company, authority or whatever, but not as an
                address of a building, because it is not assigned to
                such directly. Target is to have a separate tag for this
                kind of postcode to avoid a mix-up with the normal
                addr:postcode.<br>
                <br>
                As I am not a native British English speaker, I have
                asked one and consulted the english page of the Deutsche
                Post. Reference: <a
                  href="https://www.postdirekt.de/plzserver/PlzSearchServlet?lang=en_GB"
                  rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
                  moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.postdirekt.de/plzs<wbr>erver/PlzSearchServlet?lang=<wbr>en_GB</a>
                -> goto More -> Find major recipient<br>
                <br>
                Probably similar kinds of postcodes exist also in other
                post companies in other countries, so inputs about that
                are welcome.<br>
                <br>
                <br>
                Best regards,<br>
