I'd suggest you read these wiki pages:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Address

My personal opinion is that the address should be on a separate node at 
the entrance to the property. This is preferred for disability access 
programs.

It also takes into consideration that the address is unlikely to change 
but the building or landuse may.

Cheers
Ross
