I don't understand what you mean by "Q-tips".  If your planning on using the 
roads from the geobase dataset then I'm not sure why your going to use the 
canvec ones as an overly.  From a geometric & completeness point of view 
aren't they the same (since they both come from the same dataset).

No I don't currently have any scripts that deal with address range data.  We 
had an email thread about this a week or two ago.   There was some debate as 
to how address interpolation should be represented for block face data. 
Making Karlsruhe work for block face data might take a bit of work. I
haven't had time to look at this since (and it is unlikely I will get to 
this in the next few weeks)
