though I attended the workshop where we developed the scheme, I think we meanwhile could do better. Using the proposal of a street relation[1], we could easily make linking housenames to streets much more robust and reliable. Just add the nodes with the house names to those relations. Counting them in the planet file shows a significant amount: bzcat relations-latest.osm.bz2 | grep -i 'tag k="type" v="street"' | wc -l 1767 I just posted an example: http://www.christeck.de/wp/?p=131 I also put it as a proposal to the wiki. If it's not appreciated, feel free to edit it[2] :) .
