[Talk-us] Addressing Question

[Steven Johnson]

No, you're not too late...

I've been looking at addressing issues lately as well. Most of the
addressing resources I've found are on the relations page of the wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations#Addressing

The most important consideration here is that you are dealing with address
*ranges* that are related to linear street segments, not address *point*
which are related to individual parcels and/or buildings. This will affect
how you tag them in OSM. I haven't worked through the logic yet, but I think
the way forward is in some kind of a composite tag, because you have to
associate the way with the right/left polarity, the from/to range.
