In Italy, a housenumber is "a unique number that identifies an external access that from the road leads directly or indirectly to houses, shops, offices, garages, etc". It's not a rule of OSM or an opinion, it's something that derives from country legislation. I understand it's different from several other countries, but we should take it for granted and consider it also necessary e.g. an housenumber tag on a building outline will never accommodate a building that has several entrances with different numbers, as happens very frequently.


it doesn’t matter, people use addresses like in most places in europe, street, housenumber, postcode, city. Many features have addresses tagged, it is useful information, particularly in Italy because in Italy housenumbers refer to points and you cannot infer them for businesses and  other features, as you could with polygons.
