If the building is an area, it's a good idea to put the number on a node 
instead of on the way, so that it doesn't fight with the restaurant name 
for room inside the area. Plenty of examples around here 
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/42705253>.  But you may prefer 
not to tag for the renderer ;-)

This recalls me when I built my house.  The numbers next were 1 and 3.
Went to the adm and explained that.
- no problem, you'll get n°2
- (surprised that n°2 isn't opposite) OK, but there are two houses 
between 1 and 3
- no problem, you'll get n° 2A, see in the box, 2A and 2B are prepared
- OK, but my house is the second one
- no problem, you get n° 2B, then
No problem, OSM did not exist yet, because it lasted a few years until 
all the house were renumbered and the place name changed, some persons 
were in another street too.

Cheers,

André.
