Request in question: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&osm_type=N&osm_id=524588214&addressdetails=0

JSON does not support integers with leading zeros. I'm not sure how complex postcodes could be. Perhaps the best way to fix the problem is to return a string. This could be done in javascript_renderData by removing the if statement with is_int. If we would like to parse ints and floats we should check for is_int and return (int) $xVal or (float) $xVal I guess.

Thx for your help.
