Dear Daniel,

I think it would be interesting and useful to see this data in the
canvec.osm files.  Please be aware that the current practice in OSM is
to use only

addr:housenumber
addr:street

for individual addresses and

addr:interpolation
addr:postcode

for ranges.

addr:city/state/country are deprecated.  Use of the postGIS tools
instead are recommended.
