Usually the places without a housenumber here have some kind of
intrinsic distinctiveness/uniqueness.
For example, an airport located in a road (there won't be 2 airports
at the same road), some big industries/factories, an university
campus, parks, places related to the government, etc.

What we are trying to find is something similar to noname and noref,
but for housenumbers (and avoid people entering all imaginable and
unimaginable variants of "no housenumber" in addr:housenumber).
