I want to know what do people think about addresses.

1. Are addresses features as Pieren suggests? Thus addresses should be
mapped separately or at least tagged singularly on the primary object that
represents the address.

2. Or are addresses attributes (like names) of POIs, buildings, and the
like? In which case, it would be OK if many POIs are mapped with the same
addr:housenumbers.
