There are cases with Karlruhe Scheme that need addditional tags like
Czech addresses but I haven't heard of such cases from US or other
mappers.

Ian hasn't (yet) mentioned whether this data he deals with contains
potential address ranges or actual ranges, so I assumed actual. I
agree it may be useful to have the potential assigned range in the db,
too, using whatever tagging (or in a separate db, since this is not
stuff "on the ground").
