I much prefer not specifying any value at all if none is available.  I'm no
expert in world-wide postal code formatting, and I'd prefer to not even try
to suggest a default value that attempts to convey "none" out of fear of
colliding with a representation that has some non-"none" meaning in some
locale.

Other optional contact elements can be left unspecified.  There's value in
being consistent.
