I haven't tried in any meaningful way.  It's too early to guess how an 
address matching utility might work.   Until now I have used both

  addr:housenumber=724D

and
  addr:housenumber=724 + addr:unit=D

  depending on whether the address specified by the owner's web site 
included the letter.   More recently, I've gravitated towards separating 
the addr:unit even if the owner specified it as one word, but I'm not 
sure it's the most useful.   The addr:housenumber doesn't render anyway 
if the building has also been tagged as another POI that renders.
