Nominatim is not a perfect solution as it implies OpenStreetMap supports them rather than something else but from a practical point of view it would solve a lot of problems. Not least the idea that tags get added to every building with some sort of address code.

This is not a good idea. Please don't do it. It does not make sense! If<br>
someone searches for a plus code on a web site, the site can compute the<br>
lat/lon and take you there, WITHOUT having to add billions of plus code<br>
points all over the word.<br>
