Comment (by oliver.jowett@…):

 I should note that overpass says that, looking at just the greater London
 area (to keep the data manageable), there are:

  * 732 nodes and 237 ways tagged with a number range and
 addr:interpolation;
  * 2144 nodes and 3229 ways tagged with a number range and no
 addr:interpolation key; a casual inspection of a few of these shows that
 they do appear to be ranges, not single housenumbers.

 So you will be throwing away a lot of existing data by not supporting
 this.

 It would be in your own interests, if you are not going to add support to
 Nominatum for this, to update the wiki so that the apparently-bad advice
 is not there. You probably also want to think about a mechanical edit to
 "repair" all the existing data.
