Hey,
Nice idea, I have been working on something similar,
http://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/OAD-Open-Address-Database
But with the goal of geocoding table data into osm.

> Dear OSM community,

> After www.openaddresses.ch and
> www.openaddresses.at, www.openaddresses.org has been launched to collect
> worldwide localized addresses. This initiative of several people,
> universities and companies of central Europe aims to provide a web portail
> for the management of free and open geolocated addresses.
>
> One goal of www.openaddresses.org is to collaborate nicely with
> www.openstreetmap.org by exchanging data and providing additional services
> (http://code.google.com/p/openaddresses/wiki/RESTService). However, since
> localized addresses are very specific, we consider that it is appropriate to
> have a dedicated platform only for addresses. From the original projects,
> the data collected base on Google map has simply be removed in order to
> avoid any license issues.
>
> Don't hesitate to add your own address, the address of your friends and of
> the friends of your friends ;-) If you'd like to be part of this effort, you
> can also provide address listing, orthophoto or whatever data that can be
> useful. We are also looking for persons willing to participate to the
> development, the translation, the system administration, the testing, the
> communication and so on ...
>
> You'll find more information in the following documents:
