That's the problem I have with your proposal.  There are differences (the
contract
between Royal Mail and the Post Office expires next year so we may or may
not
move closer to what you have).  Right now I can see people in the UK
wanting to tag our shops with collection points for various couriers and
they'll do so using your tags, confusing things considerably here.  But
in Germany it might confuse things to change the key names, introducing
a distinction that doesn't exist.

The real world is messy. :(
