Your still missing the point.<br>
<br>
Depending on the country, state, area the address does not
necessarily refer to the building.<br>
<br>
In Australia the address refers to the property ie the plot of
ground that is defined by the cadastral plan.<br>
<br>
So those plots of ground may be 600 sq m or 1,000,000 hectares and
may have zero, one or many buildings.<br>
<br>
Easiest way to plot these is on a node at the access point to the
plot of ground.<br>
<br>
As someone else pointed out a building may have multiple addresses
particularly when it's on the corner of two streets.<br>
<br>
I live near a town of 1500 people. In the main part of the town
there are 5 buildings that have two addresses.<br>
<br>
All of these have one address on the main street and one address on
the side street. The reason is that there are two different
entrances to two different businesses.<br>
<br>
So how are you going to tag that on the building?<br>
<br>
By tagging on a node the actual entrances can be marked and it
accurately maps what is on the ground.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<p>Mike, you are missing the point... A building and an
address are two different things. A building may have
0 to N addresses. An address may or may not refer to a
building. The "business rules" to link the two
concepts vary by country. An address is not usually a
unique identifier of a building - it's for getting the
post delivered to the right letter box.</p>

<div>I don't think I'm missing the point. People have
addresses and that usually relates to their dwelling - so
it's correct to attach the address to the dwelling rather
than a node of the dwelling. There is one building where
I've placed a mailbox (private) on the building as it is
not near the usual main entrance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The point is, the house number should go on the area,
not the node and not both.</div>
