Is that/will that not be a popular use for OSM? It does not make walking
directions impossible - just requires the addition of the driveway to the
map. OTOH, putting the pin on the front door of a building inside a large
parcel may well leave a driver lost and quite a distance from where he
needs to be.

Is that really where we want the pin to be for driving directions? I've
mostly tended to either putting the address info on a complete landuse
polygon, or if a point, placing it on the driveway, just off the street
to which it connects. I swear I read this somewhere as standard practice,
and it makes sense from a navigation standpoint, particularly for rural
parcels, where a "driveway" can be hundreds of meters long and not mapped.
San Diego County, CA, USA has a bunch of address data from a SanGIS import.
