Trying to drive or route to disconnected nodes is

A question, then: what proportion of OSM POI's are disconnected?
Should we be taking steps (in terms of mapping guidelines) to ensure
POI nodes and buildings (and anything else likely to be a routing
target) are connected to the road grid?

Presumably this has come up before - but this question seems to be the
key issue here.
I've been looking at dozens of POI's, mainly servos, over the last few weeks, checking that mapped locations match with reality. I have yet to find a single one that's actually on a road. The POI location is usually mapped to the middle of the main building.
