Maybe we should look about the toplevel-domains, which are the official ISO country codes, and there forethese should become uk-zipcodes and us-zipcodes). Why couldn't we use these? The _language_-specific ports should then be moved to de_DE-ispell or jp_JP-emacs (what is the Japanese language code?) or something like that. In my opinion, this makes more sense.
