Official swedish postal town according to postnummersystemet, owned by Post- och telestyrelsen and maintained by Posten AB.

The value is always in ALL UPPER CASE.

In a perfect world the tag would exist in a single relation that include the area of all postal codes included in the postal town. This data is however not open (Posten AB claim IP on the data) so it is generally set on the centroid node of the place=* of the major city which also is the postal town. It's also considered OK to place it on all hamlets, villages, etc that also belong to the same postal town.
