Title: The term 'Dutch' is wrong!

Comment:
The term 'Dutch' is wrong! This is a postal code from The Netherlands, not 'Dutch'!
'Dutch' is NOT a country but a language which is spoken in different countries (with different forms of postal codes).
As such, please do not use such a regexp if you know you' users speak 'Dutch'. Their postal code might be quite different!
