I punted. When Josm added a preset that included addr:flats, then I started using that tag. Right or wrong I figured most of the other tags are Euro-English coloured, so to speak, that it did not mater if I used addr:flats verses addr:unit. The problem is that only addr:house number renders. I am not sure how we can render an address so that it is useful other than only displaying the number. Then there is a debate over what tags to add for completeness of an imported address such as addr:state being redundant. Moreover, there is the debate of including/excluding zipcode areas in the OSM data so that it could be used to improve address data. On top of suites what do we do with building numbers. I have no joy with a complex like this http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/33.59390/-111.98171. How do you add the suite ranges with any meaning along with a building letter that is useful on the map? I though x001-x012 for the suite because there is more than one suite for the building. The floor is the distinguishing number for all the suites in that building. Then there was this experiment http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/33.58335/-111.90703. I left crappy but useful map data. addr:housenumber contains both the number and the building letter in the same field. The map is useful because you can find the building. How have other people tried to handle these situations?
