They seem OK - and my processing code can interpret them (yeh!) but
I'd suggest a couple of changes

For

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/489432179

I'd suggest moving all the following tags

addr:city = Osijek
addr:country = 385
addr:postcode = 31000
addr:street = Starigradska

to the way (rather than the individual nodes).  And I'd suggest that
addr:country = 385 is unlikely to be understood.

In general creating a polygon / relation for anything above street
level is probably more useful than adding it to individual nodes (or
even ways) - so just draw a rough polygon for the city of Osijek and
tag that instead.
