For Skyler's example:
* addr:country <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=US
* addr:city <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=Mountain View
* addr:postcode <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=94043
* addr:street <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=North
Wishman Road
* addr:housenumber <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=600
* addr:unit <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=4
* addr:housename= Building B (optional)
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>
If in doubt about a specific data consumer it is always useful to use
addr:full and write the full multiline address:
For Kevin's exmaple:
Building K-1, Room 4A45
1 Research Circle
Niskayuna, New York 12309
* addr:country <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=US
* addr:city <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=New York
* addr:postcode <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=12309
* addr:street <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=Research
Circle
* addr:housenumber <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=1
* addr:unit <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=K-1 or
write in full Building K-1
* addr:door= 4A45 or write in full Room 4A45
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>
Sounds like something ?
