@Jo
I'm the developer of the plug-ins we use for the Dutch BAG import. These
plug-ins are still in development and currently only available to a
selected group of test users. With this group of 8 people, we are
testing and improving the plug-ins. On the 8th of march, we'll give a
workshop and introduce the plug-in to a larger group of interested
people.
This is the main reason that the plug-in is not yet in the JOSM's
plug-in list. 

The reason that we remove the 3dshapes building outlines in most cases
instead of replacing the geometries, is that in most cases there is no 1
on 1 match between 3dshapes buildings and BAG buildings.
The 3dshapes 'buildings' are in most cases building blocks which will be
replaced by a group of bag buildings. For buildings that can be replaced
1 on 1 and that do have any history, we do use the replace geometry
option.

Here is a link for the buildings WMS you can use in Josm:
http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/bagviewer/wms?SERVICE=WMS&FORMAT=image/png&VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=pand&STYLES=&SRS={proj}&WIDTH={width}&HEIGHT={height}&BBOX={bbox}

I'm not aware of any WMS layer containing address data. This makes sense
as a WMS layer can only show one address at a certain point, hiding all
other addresses at the same point.
You can use the bagviewer to lookup individual addresses:

>         very nice. Perhaps the proposal as being made on this
>         page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Multiple_addresses would give a better solution. Then again, the Dutch community does not feel that the chosen solution is wrong. These addresses can be found in Nominatim and anyone using a Geofabrik extract will have correct addresses for any purpose (like routing).
