Hi Richard,

I *think* the short answer is that you don't have to include the address point node/way into the interpolated way

I dont know whether or not its the "correct" way of doing things, but I know what works with Nominatim

Address points trump interpolation every time

i think that what you're describing is what i would consider correct/appropriate behavior. maybe the thing to do is update the wiki page on the addr key to state this explicitly so that usage
is consistent.

Unfortunately I dont have an example where the building is in the middle of the interpolation way
i don't really see a way to do it.

this leaves the open question of what to do in an area where building outlines have been done, but not all addresses are known, as the known addresses would normally be on the building polygons. i'm working on "downtown" West Sand Lake, NY right now and not all the buildings have clearly visible house numbers, which is a motivation for interpolation, but since i'm doing building outlines there are no nodes with known addresses to go into the interpolation ways. if i create nodes for addresses, then i would have addresses appearing
twice. any solution i can come up with strikes me as making things messier.
