Hmm, I'm convinced the associatedStreet relation is the most elegant way to solve the redundancy problem. The biggest issue with it is the one street per relation limitation, which I don't understand where it comes from. So, as far as I'm concerned, it'd be better to redefine it.<br>

</div>Yes, I know. In your case (just one house) the relation indeed seems<br>
to be far less adequate in respect to simple tags. Relations add a<br>
complexity that is mostly not desirable IMHO for cases like<br>
housenumbers. The easier it is to enter (and maintain) them, the more<br>
we will get. I suggest to put the information to nodes/polygons for<br>
this reason (and for stability), even if it seems to be a less elegant<br>
(more redundant) approach from a computer science perspective.<br>
