Please note that any imports have to follow the import guidelines 
documented on the wiki (prior discussion on imports@, separate account 
and all that). In your concrete case I would be interested to learn how 
you deal with already exisiting numbered or un-numbered buildings.

Also, anyone who imports something that is "easily fixed when wrong" 
should be prepared to fix stuff themselves; sadly we have more than 
enough imports where the importer believed that someone else is going to 
fix it.

Imports may be a solution in some cases but they're not the magic bullet 
that fixes addressing everywhere!

As for auto-incrementing addresses in JOSM, what exactly should it be doing?

Bye
Frederik
