Yes, that's the crux.
I think addresses are proper features, so a distinct address
should be found only once in the database.
And I see it the other way. Addresses are just attributes. It may pendend on
the country, I don't know. In Austria and most certainly in entire central
Europe, an address is always bound to a building, apartment or strictly
delimited plot of land. An address cannot exist on its own. Every address
includes a housenumber, indicating that there's a house. There are no
addresses in the midst of a lake or somewhere in the cliffs.
If you have a "strictly delimited plot of land", with no house currently
built upon it, but which is intended for later construction, does it
have a house number? Or is the address only assigned once a building is
built?
