I have been busy doing street names and house numbers for some years:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-38.09198/144.35883

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/52.36135/-1.98845

I normally use Potlatch and the address consists of street number and 
name, post code and suburb name for each house.  I question if it is 
necessary to add the post code and suburb name as these are implicit in 
the dwelling location. It does get very repetitive. If these are 
required for searching purposes perhaps they could be done using 
software on the data base?  I presume it is all stored and taking up 
database space?
