Perhaps your plugin should look for a street's "addr:street=*" tag for matching the interpolation way's "addr:street=*" tag, and if that's not present, try to match on "name=*". It's very possible for the houses on a street to have a different address than the street's actual name, if it has one, and I think in those cases it would be sensible for that street to be tagged with both "name=*" and "addr:street=*" having different values. (Example: houses with "Walker Road" addresses might be actually located on "Old Walker Road". Or maybe you'd have the abbreviated street name in "addr:street=*" because the addresses are always written with abbreviations...) -- David "Smith" a.k.a. Vid the Kid a.k.a.
