Re: [Talk-ca] Postal Code cleanup

Task complete.   The multi-postal codes are tagged on buildings which 
may have more than 1 address.  Local mappers who are familiar with the 
areas should review it.   It looks like in many places imports were 
used which incorrectly parsed the addresses.  Many issues where the 
value started with 2 letters representing the province and then an 
incomplete postal code (aka "AA A#A").


 248803 "A#A #A#"    1455 "A#A"  14 "A#A #A#;A#A #A#"   1 
"A#A #A#;A#A #A#;A#A #A#"


(my initial query was incomplete, that's why the numbers are much bigger now... 
I was querying the postal codes where also there is a contact record)

I hope we can all agree that "A#A #A#", which is the most popular, 
is the correct format that should be used.  The ones that just have 
'A#A' (the "Forward Sortation Area") I will leave as well.   There 
are more than 60 unique formats in use today and funny enough I 
see phone numbers in the postal code field arrh!


I am open to comments/suggestion on this, as always.
