From an aesthetics view, rendering addresses clutters up the map. From a practical view, address information can be helpful, but rendering every unit number doesn't gain much unless it is in an area such as a mobile home park. All you really need is just the housenumber to find the building. I'm all in favor of only rendering only at the highest zoom level and only once for each housenumber, not for every unit number, especially since the unit number doesn't render. Rendering unit numbers in a mobile home park or camping site numbers would aid finding the correct location. What is really important is collecting and entering the data so routers and search engines can find the location.
