i think that what you're describing is what i would consider
correct/appropriate behavior. maybe
the thing to do is update the wiki page on the addr key to state this
explicitly so that usage
is consistent.

i don't really see a way to do it.
this leaves the open question of what to do in an area where building
outlines have been
done, but not all addresses are known, as the known addresses would
normally be on the
building polygons. i'm working on "downtown" West Sand Lake, NY right
now and not
all the buildings have clearly visible house numbers, which is a
motivation for interpolation,
but since i'm doing building outlines there are no nodes with known
addresses to go into
the interpolation ways. if i create nodes for addresses, then i would
have addresses appearing
twice. any solution i can come up with strikes me as making things messier.
