				<title>Paris, France simple ZIP data error</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Paris zip codes of 75014 and 75015 seem to be reversed in the database.  If you attempt 75014, the point lands on area 75015.  Also the reverse is true.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ You are right that the simple name search returns a correct result, but what about the postalCodeSearch here:

http://ws.geonames.org/postalCodeSearch?postalcode=75014&country=FR&lang=en&maxRows=10

http://ws.geonames.org/postalCodeSearch?postalcode=75015&country=FR&lang=en&maxRows=10

Merci,

				<description><![CDATA[ We have two different tables for the GeoNames main database and the postal codes. For France the postal code data in the main database is now better than the postal codes data in the postal code database. 
It would make sense to replace the postal code data in the postal code table with the data from the GeoNames main tables. I wanted to do this yesterday, but found some problems.

1. Some postal codes are missing in the main GeoNames database (like 69003 Lyon)

2. We have a lot more postal code placename combination in the main tables (&gt;60000) wheres we have &lt; 40000 in the postal code table. In this respect I wonder whether we should have a featurecode PPLA4 for seat of a fourth order administration to flag the main place of a postal code. Sometimes the same postal code is used by villages around the main city and I think it would be useful to know which one is the main city.

				<description><![CDATA[ Marc : most of the postcodes in your list are "special" ones (for the army or banks). Not sure it is important to store them in GeoNames.

1. I will have a look to the missing ones like 69003
2. You are right : a PPLA4 flag would be useful. ]]></description>
