It will be interesting to see what the outcome of that little test will be.

btw, I've been fixing some postal codes too on roads across the border 
between zemst and mechelen, I decide based on AGIV data. I've notices 
some roads had the correct name (either on the relation or on it's own) 
but the wrong postal code (hence also the name).

The borders there are a not entirely accurate, for example Boterstraat 
and Kleine Parijsstraat.  See

When checking with AGIV, you cannot find Boterstraat in zemst but you 
can in hombeek (Mechelen).   Sometimes they exist in both of course, not 
these 2 though.

One other thing, I noticed a lot of people use source=wikipedia , which 
is our duty to add,  but at that moment also consider adding more detail 
using key wikipedia=<language:Page>.

Take a look at this node http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/106946183
having wikipedia=nl:Chiro set.

Links on the subject are http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikipedia 
and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia for more 
information.  You can click through vast amounts of docs there on how 
this is used.   It's widely supported on software presenting OSM data, 
but that only has about 120000 of those currently in it.

Check out http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM if you are 
interested in details.

there is a plugin as well :
