I'm probably in a minority here, but since the mapper usually can't
tell how the building is divided internally, it's more honest to leave
the building undivided and put the housenumber etc. tags on nodes on
the building boundary which represent the front doors.
I also think this is more useful to someone using the map, as it shows
where to find the doorbell!
My source material has all the house divisions and we could even include
the internal floorplans...
Perfect! Though doing that job properly would sometimes involve 3D
mapping - there's one smallish building around here with four front
doors which I suspect is split into two upstairs and two downstairs flats.
But that's very much the exception, I suggest. Mostly people seem to
have arbitrarily divided a semi or terrace so as to give separate
polygons to tag. Better all round to just tag front door nodes under
those circumstances, I suggest. And where a single exterior door is
shared between several dwellings (e.g. in a block of flats) something like
addr:housenumber=8-24
addr:interpolation=even
on the node deals neatly with the case.
