I'm also unclear how to tag numbered houses in named terraces. addr:housename doesn't seem appropriate if they are shared along an entire row and addr:street already has a value.
I've also run into this for blocks of flats. "Block B" doesn't seem like a housename either? The addr:block tags seems to be for named city blocks. Do we have some sort of local grouping tag?
