Also, the address must be unique - it must not be present on more than
one object, even if more than one POI exists at that address.
So there are exceptions to this rule: I know at least one example where the same address is given for two different retail/service buildings (~500 m in city along river is rather a big distance, and it's not a tagging mistake).
So now I understand why some information systems I know use for the address a primary key distinct from any of the address's components. Using a random primary key also makes the address still relatable across events such as street name change.

why?
Relational integrity ? But after Daniel's remark above, I now believe I was mistaken in how I understood address uniqueness: the address object that must be unique but two addresses may have the same attributes.

When French telcos send each other messages to order construction of local loops, they mention an address identifier - the address attributes are accessory.
