I would imagine that this would add a fair number of postcodes, and although those interested in address lookup can just use the centroid database without needing to go to OSM, this requires knowledge of the database (which non-UK developers might not have) and does not link postcodes back to address numbers and street names. Also recall that the Auto industry asked in 2012 how OSM intends to bridge the gap between us and commercial map providers. Something like this would be a good step in the right direction in my opinion.
>From what I have heard, this sounds like a very cautious import and I am happy to support it. It may even have lower "error" rates than some manual edits!! RobJN p.s. Matt, if you are reading this, do you still update your graph of number of postcodes added to OSM? Might be interesting to see it.
