No. There is a relation between the houses and the street. You don't
need addr:street on the houses if you have it on the relation. You
could argue that putting all the ways that make up a street into a
single street relation is also just using a relation as a category
if you think that of associatedStreet, in which case the answer to
the subject of this thread is "none of them".
