If the former is exactly the same as the latter, why is it called
``na-zipcodes'' and not ``us-zipcodes''?  There was only one Zoning
Improvement Project, and it was conducted by the (then) United States
Post Office Department.  ``na'' suggests several other countries in
addition to the US, all of which have their own postal code systems.
