The only possible situation that comes to mind is if the location of a *street* has been changed because it was erroneous, and therefore all addresses on that street have changed their lat/lon as well, but still, that has nothing to do with "attributions", does it? By "attributions" I understand the copyright notices displayed at the bottom of the map.
