As an addendum I've now also added Codepoint-augumented search. When
searching for a postcode and it doesn't find an exact match in OSM it
will see if it matches a Codepoint code [1].

It also now shows a map on Postcode overview pages based on the
Codepoint coordinate [2].

Thanks to Chris Hill for providing me with the data. I wasn't
expecting there to be quite so many postcodes. There's over 1.6
million in Codepoint (c.f. 11.5 thousand in OSM) :S
