Who are these data consumers? The only two concrete data consumers we 
have are OSM Carto and Nominatim. Neither of which require anything 
beyond street to function correctly.

People keep throwing up hypotheticals and when I show how you would deal 
with these supposed problems, the assumptions get moved and we continue 
the argument.

Let me be blunt here: if you don't have a smidgen of coding or GIS 
expertise you are not going to get any value out of trying to extract 
the address information from OSM and do something with it.
