If the server doesn't know how to deal with the untyped data in a URL, having clients send that extra data won't help - how will it know that the client is /wrong/? If you need strong typing, put it in the body of the request message, not the resource identifier. The resource identifier (URI) isn't (shouldn't be) different if the zipcode is identified as an integer .vs. text.
