Most users, on being asked to enter a valid postal code, will enter a
valid postal code; or at least one which is grammatically sound.

I see little point in forcing them to download all the code which is
necessary to scrutinise the individual keystrokes, when it is easier to
validate the code on loss-of-focus or completion-of-data.

Completed postal codes can be checked, quite economically, by using a
well-chosen RegExp; a liberal check for world-wide codes, a rigorous
format check for Canadian ones, a choice for UK ones, etc.

Will
OK = /^[a-zA-Z0-9- ]{m,n}$/.test(PoCo)
or a little more, match all world postcodes, after whitespace
normalisation ? What are the proper m & n ?
