Thats great, please tag it as such.
I'm not saying addr:floor shouldn't exist - it should. Im saying that encoding
non-address information into address is pollution of the addr:* tag.
In large facilities with a single mail address or large numbers of buildings
(universities, military bases) have "building" numbers to denote which building
- not a street address, but just an assigned number that is usually included in
it's postal routing info. This is the use of addr:place
I dont think we should jam every building name and ref, suite number
(addr:unit) or business designation (ref=)in there becuase it is **not part of
its address**
OSM will have some tags and some tag values that exist regionally like the
multiple addresses per building discussion a few months ago.
So what works for military bases or your buildings or my malls may be different
and differently tagged (which is why there are so many addr:*=x tags) to
prevent garbage information ending up in the particular address fields useful
for routing and mailing things, AFAIK.
