That address can be tagged on the surrounding polygon (building or parcel).
I've never come across disjunct areas with the same address, and another
address in between. Even in that case, a multipolygon would suffice. No need
for a dedicated address relation.

They do, see my proposal.

IMO it's just the other way around. Overlapping polygons are only needed if
there are different levels (addr:floor) involved. In that case, you may draw
a polygon for each level, set layer=* and addr:floor=*. I don't see why this
shouldn't be working.
