    Hi,

    We know that addr:housenumber
    <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr>=* can be tagged on
    nodes
    <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#How_to_map_addresses> and
    that it's very convenient.


But wrong.

Why? It's all very well that this may be you opinion but the wiki and accepted practice says otherwise.


    A problem in tagging the number on a node *instead* of on an area
    is that someone making a nice copy (& paste) like below (partim)
    of the nice information found in the left pane of OSM.org will
    inadvertently miss the number.
    Does anyone have an objection against the same number being *also*
    on the node?
    That is the same number both on a node (once) and on the
    way/relation *that this node belongs to* (once)?
    (we already have the other address information routinely
    duplicated and even triplicated (associatedAddress) for the sake
    of consumers finding it, so why not the address?)



Info shouldn't be duplicated or triplicated either.

Agree.
