There's a tag called addr:place [1] (6.2 million uses worldwide) which is used e.g. in villages without street names. A surprisingly high amount of software seems to ignore it, notable exceptions being Mapfactor Navigator and Nominatim.
If proper usage of OSM data is of your concern, please spread the awareness and nag the developers of your favorite software to support it, as without it we are unable to use a significant amount of addresses.
