But wrong. Why?  It's all very well that this may be you opinion but the wiki and accepted practice says otherwise. Address = building = area, not node. It's 'accepted' as a second best option for where a building hasn't been drawn. Please carefully read what I wrote, especially what's written in bold so that no one misses it: That is the same number both on a node (once) and on the way/relation that this node belongs to (once)? If the node belongs to the way of the building then the building has not "not been drawn". It has been drawn and the node belongs to its perimeter way. Marc has just explained why we do that. I find quite a lot of them and remove them by transferring the data to the buildings - sometimes there's a building and a loose node containing the same data! In those cases, a simple node deletion is required. A lot?  Maybe that comes from the fuzzy explanations of /wiki/JOSM/Plugins/AddrInterpolation. In addition, it [plugin] can create individual house number nodes from address interpolation ways that follow the address interpolation way numbering rule. House number nodes Converting Address Interpolation way to individual house numbers It speaks about creating number nodes but not of what to do with them. I personally move (not delete) the nodes to be part of the building way at the entrance (with shortcut N). Cheers André.
