In the areas I know this tag should not be used, but addresses can be very
different globally. Looking at taginfo, this seems to be a regional thing
(some mix ups with addr:city aside):

Still looking at taginfo, I see on 35% in combination with addr:city, or
41k items, it's these that may indicate there could be something behind it,
intention rather than confusion ;-)
