Interesting, this is a different definition of pipestem than what I'm familiar with. Pipestems as I know them (at least in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA), are a shared driveway leading to two or more houses. The houses on a pipestem are jointly responsible for maintaining the road themselves. Maybe there's another term used elsewhere, but I'm not aware of it.
Again, I'm fine with not creating another tag (like driveway=pipestem), but the next best thing I can think of is to do something like "operator=123-129 Suburb Street" (as that's what's shown on signs, ugly for parsing), or perhaps I could create a "pipestem" relation showing which houses are responsible for the road :).
