(There weren't nearly as many objects in case 2 as I thought there would be here based on people's comments, so it's possible I've messed up the programming logic somewhere. If there are still any objects with a highway=* tag listed in other sections, then please let me know, and I'll see if I can fix the bug.)
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4298681 is now listed in 'highways with postcodes' for WR12 7EP, but my next road which is tagged the same way https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4299405 is under 'Street Name Mismatches in Postcode Unit' but has the same name in both columns, so I don't see what the problem is ... A large number of WR12 7** postcodes are correct as far as MY checks show. WR12 7JJ, WR12 7PH, WR12 7PP ... WR12 7PJ has snagged a bus stop node ...
One source of questions is the addition of addr:postcode to bus stops. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/799223204 for example seems just wrong as it's now where near the WR12 7HP road and a quick check on local bus routes shows none stopping there anyway ... AH looks like the bus stop is now in the wrong place ... buses go down WR12 7HP now. But you can see the problem that adding postcodes to objects that don't have postal addresses seems strange except if one is tagging for routing :(
Other nodes are also throwing up questions such as http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3383359238 ...OK - WR14 3LT and WR14 3LY are getting confused by the ' which is not on the PAF file or on the Worcestershire Hub listing ... but is on google maps :)
But I would repeat that while 'Code-Point Open' provides a list of valid postcodes, it can't be used to check the street names, so adding the postcode to the street seems to be the right thing to do. The only question is if t should be addr:postcode and combined with other addr: elements for 'place' or simply 'postal_code' ... I can accept the second if the guide is also to omit other addr: elements from the street tagging ... use of addr:place, addr:location and the like cries out for addr:postcode ... 'postal_code' pairs up with 'is_in' which is something else that does not work well?
