I have occasionally used addr:flat when tagging the entrance to a single 
flat, but usually use addr:flats. I did use addr:flatnumber originally 
but changed to addr:flats as that seems  to have become more widely 
accepted.

For what it's worth, there is a wiki page for addr:flats at 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:flats
The information there seems correct to me, although I might add that 
flat numbers can sometimes be letters or even names. I have tagged real 
examples like:
addr:flats = 1-5;The Garden Flat;The Penthouse

Cheers,
