Sarah, you could use (or adapt) the Karlsruhe Schema: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Karlsruhe_Schema
As I understand it you make a node _next_ to the way that is the street to show which side of the street it is and tag it with: addr:housenumber = "1939" or if there are multiple apartments at one "node" or doorway: addr:housenumber = "220a, 222a, 224b, 226b" or addr:housenumber = "1 to 550" ... remember it is an open street map and most people just want to know more or less where a building is likely to be - they can work it out the exact location from clues on the map or when they are on the street itself. I am not sure what to do about shops in a shopping mall I would probably aim to make the thoroughfares ways (using layer +1, +2 for the different floors) and put nodes alongside for each shop.... but I have never actually gone that far. and it does seem a bit extreme.... life is short.
