What's the procedure when making corrections to roads that have
associated address interpolation ways?

>From what I see, address interpolation ways are just simply ways
sitting beside the road, and have to real relation to the road besides
proximity.

If a road gets moved to a new location, does one create new parallel
ways and tag them as address interpolation ways? What's the standard
offset from the roadway?

Where does one get address numbering information from? For some places
it can be easy, where you start at 1, and work your way up, but what
might the upper limit be? Guessing doesn't work, as can be seen in the
NavTeq and TeleAtlas databases that have my house number around 63 or
so, yet there are only 40 houses on my street, with the last house
being #40. Where there are houses, one can simply read the number off
the house if it is posted, but in areas where no houses yet exist, one
might have to resort to looking at another source document.
