The official postal version of the street name may be tagged as `official_name`; if so that's a good value for `addr:street`. If the way has other name tags -- such as `alt_name`, `local_name`, `old_name`, or a language-specific name -- those values may be used. It's also possible to use the value of the way's `ref` tag, which should match the name of the route relation. Name is only the name, so most route relations wouldn't have a name.
Fair enough. The ones around me have names, but it looks like plenty of them get by with just ref and network. So... * Q) How should `addr:street` be tagged for an address along an unnamed way which is part of a numbered road-type route relation? * A) Check the way for alternative name tags.

Since the number of different variations on how one might address something when the street name is on a numbered route, seems like it's on the data consumer to fuzzy match appropriately to match an imperfect hit.
I don't disagree, but I don't mind tagging more if it helps a bit. J
