airs:serviceArea should have a ZIP code field #28

The description of the airs:ServiceArea is: "This is the geographic area served by the SiteService. This can be anything from a single neighborhood to an entire country. Types can also be mixed; perhaps one city and 6 nearby ZIP codes. In this case the required element would be City and there would be additional ZIP codes. A national 1-800 hotline would have one Country element."@en ;". So really, this is a question of specifically enumerating ZIP Codes as a separate field, and not embedded in a perhaps free-form description. The definition of an airs:ServiceArea is currently a dct:description and a dct:Location, and a Census Tract. dct:Location is just a metadata tag, and really doesn't define anything: http://udfr.org/docs/onto/dct_Location.html. Also, ZIP Codes are not international, so we should probably use postal codes here with a way to indicate the postal code of the type ZIP Code. Probably the same issue with Census Tract.

Add postal code to airs:serviceArea in 0.0.10? this is vcard:postal-code. It was added by making airs:Address a subclass of vcard:Address, which already has postal-code in it, among other things, like street address. Or example instance of address had these vcard:Address data properties within it, and somehow the inheritance chain hadn't been set up properly.
