There is a page at

which mentions "suggested tags" but there is no evidence that this is
in use. If correct I would be tagging as -
addr:housenumber=99
addr:street=Postal Street
addr:town=Smalltown
addr:city=Largertown
This is correct, although there is no consensus wrt to the tag used for
Smalltown. I'm using one of addr:villlage|suburb|town myself. There was
a proposal to switch to addr:locality only, which I argued against in
the past, but it would indeed match RM addressing better and often
classification of the locality is unclear.
This is not the only problem with RM<->OSM address tagging. RM defines
following address structure:
Dependent thoroughfare
addr:place (?)
Thoroughfare
addr:street
Double dependent locality
addr:hamlet|district (?)
Dependent locality
addr:town|village|suburb|locality (?)
Post Town
addr:city
Postcode
addr:postcode
This often becomes an issue when mapping business parks,
hospital/university campuses etc.
