Hello again, Another building-related thing I forgot to say in the previous email:
Many buildings here (specially commercial buildings) have many numbers (one for each store front). For this reason, I frequently add the address tags to each building entrance, not to the building as whole. It would be nice if the ITO could be smart enough to render a building as "numbered" if at least one of its building=entrance nodes has an addr:number=* tag. A naïve implementation supporting this shouldn't be too hard to do.
