I don't think I'm missing the point. People have addresses and that usually
relates to their dwelling - so it's correct to attach the address to the
dwelling rather than a node of the dwelling. There is one building where
I've placed a mailbox (private) on the building as it is not near the usual
main entrance.

The point is, the house number should go on the area, not the node and not
both.
