This isn't very common, and there's no documentation of this practice on 
the addr or service=driveway wiki pages. (There is mention of adding 
addr:* tags to an "entrance/gate", but no suggestion as to when this 
should be done.)

 From what I've seen, usually the house at the end of the driveway would 
get the addr:* tags, and the routing engine would route down the 
driveway -- or, if the driveway is tagged access=private, to the nearest 
spot on the public road, which is *usually* pretty close to where the 
driveway starts.

In your scenario, what gets the addr: tags? The driveway itself, or the 
intersection node?
