[OSM-talk] Post code areas

[Anthony]

Hi Frederik,

What are the sources for the post code areas?  How often are they updated?
How are they defined (by reference to houses, by reference to geographical
features, by lat/lon, something else)?  Will this data be integrated into
other OSM data, or is it basically just a separate layer?
