Address = building = area, not node. It's 'accepted' as a second best
option for where a building hasn't been drawn. I find quite a lot of them
and remove them by transferring the data to the buildings - sometimes
there's a building and a loose node containing the same data! In those
cases, a simple node deletion is required.
