I never put address details on sheds or garages. The building=house is on the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Building page. That's as official as it can get for me. Also use building=apartment whenever I can/remember/wrote down.
I did use AGIV for some of my more recent "expeditions". Unfortunately, it did not help me in a few cases. I had numbers from mailboxes on the street, but didn't know the houses (in private area). AGIV had none of them. With my new workflow (address nodes generated from GPX waypoints), I first have them in a separate layer. I use the lasso tool to select all nodes in 1 street. Then add street (but could easily add city, country, postcode) as well to the whole selection. No need for any of the plugins. But I used them before (for the work in Aartselaar e.g.). A question regarding houses without numbers (e.g. churches, libraries, ...) The official address is e.g. Kerkstraat z/n How is that mapped ? addr:housenumber = z/n does not sound correct to me. m.
