Thanks for fixing that.

The problem is ussually finding the right data, and making sure
that there is no license problem with adding that data.

Nominatim shows all the levels, including those I think it
shouldn't.  It currently shows:
Werchter, Rotselaar, Leuven, Flemish Brabant, Flanders, 3118,
Belgium, European Union

I just noticed that if you look up "3118 Rotselaar" in google
maps, that it properly shows what Werchter looks like, because
it has it's own postal code.  It's more correct than what I
added.
