The royal 'we'?<br>
<br>
Address tags are added to buildings.<br>
Generally these building have no entrances in OSM.<br>
Even where hte building has an entrance or two .. the building still generally has the address.<br>
<br>
Where no building exists in OSM then addresses are generally nodes with no other feature.<br>
<br>
That looks to be the practice around me. And it will probably continue to be the practice.<br>
