there's the "Karlsruhe model", see the wiki[1] for details. In Karlsruhe,
you'll also find some housenumbers in the osmarender tiles at highest zoom
level. Unfortunately, there are no tiles ATM. Karlsruhe is around [2]. You'll
find some excerpts of baden-wuerttemberg on [3].
In addition to the Karlsruhe schema, I also created some relations for a
handful of streets and put the housenumber nodes into those relations. I
doubt, though, if such a (rather complicated) method of linking houses to
streets will get more popular or even widely adopted. If interested, see the
street named "Graf-Rhena-Straße" in Karlsruhe as an example.
HTH & best regards,
