[Tagging] New tag for major recipient postcodes

[marc marc]

Hello,

In stead of creating an additional tag and thus an additional country 
specific rule,
why not using addr:full (or in the contact namespace if some prefer) to 
put this special addr that doesn't follow the standard country rule ?

Regards,
Marc
