I find bizarre to have to add such additional relations to villages to get a correct postcode and to have to do it by guessing, without a written specification explaining how to do. I'd say the proof that it's not necessary is Dolembreux below and that if it doesn't work in other cases the reason should be found rather than finding a workaround and concluding that it's what has to be done. Village Boundary Dolembreux, Sprimont, Liège, French Community, Wallonia, 4140, Belgium This said, I returned to Минск (Minsk, a big city) where I once saw things like that. They of course use boundary relations, but with no subarea and a single name on some ways (interesting to know that the borderline or Minsk is called Minsk), they have address type relations that look a bit like the German associatedStreet but they are different, they also have postal_code relations but look at what they contain, Автобусы г. Минска (buses of City Minsk) that seems done differently from elsewhere and a strange route to me, etc. I compare with Moscow where I see no address nor postal_code relations, but a strange street relation, .. No wonder that Nominatim does not work if everybody is doing it their own way. I think OSM is going crazy. Is all that really necessary? Why don't we first try to have it work correctly as a routing (GPS) database? According to my tests, it is unreliable, and Guy even added "they laugh at us". Cheers,
