I ask because I will (hopefully) be faced with a comparable problem in
2014 - I will have address data with no structure and it's going to be
up to me/the client/or volunteers to add the buildings (if they want them).
I didn't know there were tools in josm for automatically handling
address/building relations.

There seems to be a misunderstanding. While it is true that the person
who is handling the 'import' receives points with address data. These
contributors have to draw buildings around those points based on
really good imagery we have available.
So, calling it an import is probably a misnomer. What we're planning
to do is use that data as an extra source, a convenience. Then do a
bit of hard work either relating it to existing buildings in OSM or
drawing new buildings over the nodes. The tools in JOSM automatically
transfer the info from the 'imported' nodes to the building
structures, thereby deleting the node.
Conflation is handled manually, This is not a problem, as we have
relatively few addresses to begin with (compared to how many there
are). Expansion of abbreviations will also be done by humans, which
will be a lot more reliable than trying to code it.

I worked this summer on an addressing project - all the addresses
were points. In OSM I've seen discussion on relating the address
to a structure or putting an address on a structure - I would
rather keep it as a point within the structure (and not relating
it to the building) - but that's just me. I believe you are just
keeping the address as a point and not relating it to a structure
(I've been trying to keep up with your import as a matter of
interest).
Good luck on getting this done by the way.

I've seen
this spoken about quite a bit.
I'm not sure I understand your question. Why would you want to
have a node with the address information when you can do it on
the building? A _house_ number is a number for a house, so it
seems obvious to me to add that number to the house.
