All the world is not Germany  (echoing "All the world's not a VAX",  
but I date myself).  Here in the USA, many areas were renumbered for  
the e911 initiative.  The numbering?  Well, it may vary from place to  
place, but for my area, it's the number of feet down your road divided  
by 25 (half the width of a buildable lot, so you can have a unique  
number on each side of the road).

Thus, for many roads near me, interpolation is not only usable, it's  
technically correct.

Not that numbering individual houses is wrong, either.
