Wanted to leave it open, as I may rather have driving distance in the future. 
But also, we want to do this for our UK offices as well.  Seems at least M$'s 
mapping api's took postal code as well as zip.  

What would a table of worldwide postal/zip codes and lat/long cost?

Why not just calculate it yourself?  Get a table with lat and long, and use a 
function to calculate the distance.  I found one fairly easy when I build 
something like this a while ago.
