Yeah, its probably the same here because you can have a land plot without a 
house but with a postbox and address anyway.  It is a compromise to put it on 
the buildings where they exist because land plots is out of scope.

What I mean is that its a bad idea to keep the exact same data in multiple 
places and thinking about it postal addresses follows land plots and legal 
boundaries and not POIs.
