Frequently not.

I've done a lot of addr:housenumber=10-23
Sometimes I've added a node for each entrance.
I've even done some funky stuff with writing (even)/(odd) in there, but
that's probably not such a good idea. I was just following the principal of
recording the information to figure out what works later.

Take a browse round putney for some of the obscure combinations I've messed
with.
