[Tagging] housenumber on node and area

[Colin Smale]

Mike, you are missing the point... A building and an address are two
different things. A building may have 0 to N addresses. An address may
or may not refer to a building. The "business rules" to link the two
concepts vary by country. An address is not usually a unique identifier
of a building - it's for getting the post delivered to the right letter
box.

Even more crazy, I have seen a number of places (different towns/villages) where the existing, old numbering was changed (strike through of old, often stone engraved number and new number with paint or adhesive sticker). I cannot imagine any reason if not to deliberately create confusion ;-)
