[Talk-ca] Postal Code cleanup

[James]

Canapost uses

A#A #A#

Seeing as they were trying to copyright it's usage (see lawsuit vs
geocode.ca) I think thats the format we should use

Hi all,

Below are the 10 top postal code formats in Canada as seen in
*addr:postcode*. When I get bored of tidying up phone numbers, I'll tackle
some postal codes.

I hope we can all agree that "A#A #A#", which is the most popular, is the
correct format that should be used.  The ones that just have 'A#A' (the
"Forward Sortation Area") I will leave as well.   There are more than 60
unique formats in use today.... and funny enough I see phone numbers in the
postal code field.... arrh!

I am open to comments/suggestion on this, as always.

  20271 'A#A #A#'
   1454 'A#A#A#'
     96 'a#a#a#'
     37 'A#A #A# '
     29 'a#a #a#'
     28 'A#A'
     24 'A#A #a#'
     23 'AA A#A #A#'
     17 'A#A-#A#'
     12 'A#A #A#'
