In case you haven't seen it
there is an addressing system which has thought this through [1] and
seems to be used as the de facto standard. My personal experience is
that it is a slow and tedious process which I haven't even finished for
the village where I live but don't mention this to SteveC who
seems keen to use it much more.

Tag both roads with the same postcode?
that set out to remove the extra data (scripted) and put in the ways but for
now we just need the postcodes.
Good luck with that - *every* time I have suggested trying to migrate
existing data from depricated tags to their replacements (either by
scripting or manually), I've been shot down in flames.
I could take you arround a local town that has some
very interesting ways to number houses.
House numbers are not at issue here - clearly they must belong to the
building itself. The point I was raising was that your address tags
contained a lot of data that was shared amoungst many buildings.
