The royal 'we'?

Address tags are added to buildings.
Generally these building have no entrances in OSM.
Even where hte building has an entrance or two .. the building still generally has the address.

Where no building exists in OSM then addresses are generally nodes with no other feature.

That looks to be the practice around me. And it will probably continue to be the practice.
