You could but unless anyone writing applications that search for house-numbers know about it your tagging will not be put to use. I`m preparing the proof of concept I wrote in the Karlsruhe meeting to make TS navigate to house numbers just this weekend. It`d not be able to find where house-number 246 was in your example until you pointed out this new semantics in your posting. As fas as I see it`s not yet documented. Is this schema in actual use? Non-numeric characters are for house-numbers that actually contain these characters. Like your "120b"- example.
