It's might be a watermark, like when a book publisher intentionally  
misspells a word in order to assert copyright.

Canada post says:

http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pcl/bin/range-e.asp

GD   AQUAFORTE NL A0A 1A0

I wonder what "delivery mode" GD means... as there are no other  
addresses associated with it.

Hard to say if it is legitimate... it could just be that canada post  
is using the same data source as the others.  Where do the geocoders  
place it?  Does anyone have a geometry associated with A0A?

Cheers,
Cory.
