Just like the coordinates are more permanent. But we won't necessarily keep them in OSM if there's no shop anymore. As this is unusual, let's habe a look at doctors instead. A doctor may have his practice in the 3rd floor, door number 27. When he retires, he (or someone else) may use that apartment for living. It's no POI anymore. It just becomes an ordinary flat like the 50 other flats in the house. Keeping the naked address with floor and door number would be completely useless. Of course, we wish to keep the address of the whole house, but there we are at attibutes again. I'm in favor of keeping addresses on vacant lots. Vacant lots often get rebuilt.
I agree that addresses of vacant lots (parcels) should be retained in OSM. This is different to my example above.
In the US cities I've lived, the address remains the same. Of course there are exceptions, for example, if the original building was on a corner lot and the new building had it main entranced moved to the other street, the building would most likely get a new number.
Well, that's a case for multipe addresses, see my proposal: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Multiple_addresses
