I see your point now... but I think it is more of a styling issue than
about how the data is in OSM.  The actual door numbers should be entered
and then the renderer does the job.  Sure you have the info on the
street name panels, but it happens to be "duplicated" data derived from
the door numbers :)

I don't like it, but that doesn't stop it here. I am not the community,
we are. :)
