If you want to split info by postal code (f.e. for statistical purposes), you'll indeed need a script.

See http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=4.35285&lat=50.84048&zoom=14&overlays=no_addr_street,street_not_found,interpolation_errors for basic address checks (addr:street matching the name tag). Not only with language order, but also with small words (de, du, ...) that need to be checked locally. Also see the discussion about language facilities, where the number of name:nl and name:fr tagged streets is embarrassingly low. Regards, Sander
