[Talk-us] Addresses and Tiger

I have been playing around with the TIGER 2008 data, which, for some of 
the counties around Atlanta seems to be much better than the old data. 
If I import it for some of the counties, though, I would like to import 
the addresses in a format that would be usable for routing software. 
The most popular schema seems to be the Karlsruhe Schema, but making use 
of it would require generating three OSM ways for each TIGER way - one 
on either side to represent the houses on that side of the road.  That 
seems unnecessarily complex, but there does not seem to be any widely 
accepted schema that places the data on the way itself.  Does anyone 
have any thoughts on that question?
