The Karlsruhe_Schema says
|addr:housenumber| or |addr:housename|

-----------------------------
Regarding

contact:mail

~ 120uses.. no wiki page and no mention of it on the contact page.

The contact page also says other tags are more popular.

However for mail there appears to be little use other than mail:franked 
(no wiki page)

mail:stamped mail:first_class etc I assume this is something to do with 
posting not the address that a place uses.



All in all a bit of a mess.
