Worth noting NG9, I don't think this is absolutely complete, but its not 
far off (mapper will_p).

A few weeks ago I did pull out postcodes from all tagged objects & 
compared them with CodePoint, IIRC OSM had about 0.6% of them (around 
7000 in addr:postcode format, and another 4000 in postal_code tags). 
These figures will have increased substantally since then (B72 was only 
41% complete at the time).

I do have codepoint available in WGS84 co-ordinates, but possibly not 
the latest version.
