In rural areas you often can use the administrative boundaries but in cities
this often does not work, because the postcode boundaries differe to the suburb
boundaries. I added the postcode to a associatedStreet relation using
addr:postcode=* and split the relation in parts (one for each postcode) if there
exists more then one.
