Once it's in a database form, different subsets can be generated, e.g. a pure name+reading, a full-blown all-details, etc. The Japanese Wikipedia has a heap of city entries. I can't see it going that far.
In a database it would make a lot more sense to have one table consisting of postcodes and place names and then just look up the postcodes by a search on the place names. Why you'd want to provide that service I'm not sure, but it's unrelated to enamdict as such. The data should be stored in a completely different file structured around the addresses. Adding postcode data in the form of multiple postcodes for each place name to the enamdict file would make for a very poor structure.
