that depends, some people use associatedStreet only to associate a building
with a street. They do not repeat addr:postalcode, addr:city. Some people
repeat addr:street in both, but not everybody does that.
BTW, addr:city and addr:postalcode is also not repeated in areas where the
admin boundaries and postal code boundaries are complete (e.g. Germany or
Flanders).

Don't expect other people to duplicate the info. Don't expect other people
to leave the data in both places.
