It should definitively be disabled in Denmark.
First of all, in Denmark, addresses are placed on nodes rather than
buildings. The nodes are placed where the official address is; Typically
this is the main entrance of the main building. More importantly, the
node is the place where ambulances etc. will arrive when summoned to
that address.
Adding addresses to buildings in Denmark would break this scheme.
As mentioned on the wiki, the data quality of address nodes is quite
high. But there are a few glitches when data is entered incorrectly in
the official register by municipality staff. In such cases, the Danish
OSM community works with the municipalities to have the data corrected
at the source, i.e. in the municipality systems. This is much
appreciated by the authorities, and is sometimes showcased as a benefit
from opening government data to the public.
But this also means that the functionality of leaving an OSM note for
missing and wrong addresses would be very helpful in Denmark.
