It seems likely to me that some very small communities might lack a house number as well; if the community is small enough for everyone to know everyone else, a given house might well be described only in terms of the village name and the name of the residents.  However, this would seem to be a matter for renderers and data-validation routines, rather than requiring a new tag.
