I'd like to second that. If there is a compelling reason to not tie the address to an existing structure, then so be it - e.g. keep an address node as building=entrance or something. If, however, the main reason for not wanting to make the link is "trying to make the link will show how bad the data really is, and just dumping address points into the database is good enough for geocoding anyway so why bother", then this is a clear argument for not importing the data at all, and keeping in a separate database instead - one that might, like TIGER address data, be loaded into the database user-side instead of OSM-side.
