Having read this discussion I know of a location locally where both methods are probably required. There is a road called "New Way" where the houses on one side actually have postal addresses of "Eastern Promenade", although there is no vehicular access to the "front" of these houses. Tagging the nodes with addr:street=Eastern Promenade, but then using a relation to link the nodes with "New Way" seems the perfect solution. At present I've only added the way with a note about the properties on one side having a different street address, rather than actually marking any of them.
