Only for new ways imported from UMP (i.e. street and housenumbers imported at the same time). For streets that are already in OSM we import only the housenumers and ignore the streets (manually deleting before upload) > Or you can use the "type=associatedstreet"-relation. > That one works without street-names and is just 2 relation > with 1 tag and 2 members. Should be simple to code. Yes, I may do that, however... Afterall this information doesn't seem all that useful - when you want to be navigated to a given address (street+housenumer), you don't necessarily want to go that street, you probably want to arrive at the nearest point from that house, and very ofter that point is not the "associatedStreet", sometimes that will be a driveway or an unnamed living_street or a parking.
