Note that postcodes must have a space in
the middle, ie, AnA nAn. In practice,
however, there is so much brain-dead
software in use that believes otherwise, it
would be prudent to make the space optional.

From the Canada Post Addressing Guide:
"Postal codes must be printed in
upper case with the first three
elements separated from the last
three by one space (no hyphens)."
