This seems like a particularly strange edge case for the address scheme,
but I'm curious if any of those valid addresses are consider the "primary?"
 And if that's the case, what's wrong with creating a node on the building
for each additional valid address?  People looking for an amenity could
look up closest POIs after finding a secondary address.  It's not a clean
situation, but it does have a couple advantages:

   - Works with existing data consumers
   - Simple for users to tag.

Granted, it does have the obvious drawback you mentioned.

 Guys, guys, there's got to be an civil way to discuss this.  We can all
fight when we're drunk at SOTM.  *ducks!*
