<div>I rechecked the two main OSM Wiki pages[1][2]
on addr:*=* tags and addresses in general and
there is no indication there that such tags are
only intended to encode postal addresses (aside
from the specific addr:postcode=* tag).
Personally, I use addr:*=* tags in any scenario
where addresses can be used, such as in
contact/location addresses which is used when the
general public (and not just the postman/mailman)
wants to go to an office, shop, or an
establishment. For example, the Consulate-General
of Japan in Hong Kong lists their location where
they can be reached[3] as "46-47/F, One Exchange
Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong". I
could then encode this as:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>addr:floor=46-47/F</div>
<div>addr:housename=One Exchange Square</div>
<div>addr:housenumber=8</div>
<div>addr:street=Connaught Place</div>
<div>addr:place=Central (tag probably unnecessary if
Central is already a boundary)</div>
<div>addr:city=Hong Kong (probably unnecessary since
HK already has a boundary)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for level=*, I don't know whether this
building skips any floor numbers (4th? 14th? 24th?
etc.) so I would hold off on tagging level=* until
I get to see their elevator buttons.<br>
