test="string-length(s0:POSTCODE/text() = 0)"

is always true as it is taking the value returned by  string-length as a
boolean, which is true if it is non zero

the string being passed to string-length is either "true" or "false"
depending on whether
s0:POSTCODE/text() = 0
is true or not, which is true just if one of the text node children of
s0:POSTCODE is "0".

but neither "true" nor "false" have zero length, so the test is always
true.
