I personally put postcodes on buildings as in my two most common use cases (getting something delivered to my house, and using my GPS to get somewhere) I have become accustomed to being asked for a house number after supplying a postcode.
I guess that tagging the street works (although you may need to split it into sections and add :right and :left tag extensions), but it's not something I do. You mentioned the postman walking up the street - well I guess you could say that the walk also includes the driveway up to the front of each house/letterbox. Whether nominatim works or not is a search problem, not a mapping one (i.e. not mapping for the nominatim). Rob
