For example, you can have a building with one address, but multiple units, i.e. A, B, C. Each should be tagged as a node with POI information. I'm also convinced that the address node is actually just the centroid of the parcel polygon which results in nodes outside of the footprint. I still think an import is better than a manual survey. Counties actually do a good job getting the address correct. Mainly because the bill property taxes but also because E911 services often use the same database. We plan to do the same thing with Bellevue, WA import, which I hope to start early next year. Plus the small city I live in as offered addresses and outlines. So that's also in the works.
