The definition of addr:city -is- "The name of the city as given in <br>
postal addresses of the building/area." straight from the wikis mouth, <br>
aka the postal town or whatever the equivalent is.<br>
<br>
While there is some use of addr:town it seems to essentially be a <br>
tagging mistake (confusing the place value with the address field), <br>
definitely there is no need to introduce a synonym to addr:city with <br>
addr:post_town.<br>
