Fair enough. The ones around me have names, but it looks like plenty of
them get by with just ref and network.

So...

   * Q) How should `addr:street` be tagged for an address along an
unnamed way which is part of a numbered road-type route relation?
   * A) Check the way for alternative name tags. The official postal
version of the street name may be tagged as `official_name`; if so
that's a good value for `addr:street`. If the way has other name tags --
such as `alt_name`, `local_name`, `old_name`, or a language-specific
name -- those values may be used. It's also possible to use the value of
the way's `ref` tag, which should correspond to a route relation that
includes the way.

I don't disagree, but I don't mind tagging more if it helps a bit.
