Have you considered adding POIs for them at or near the building entrance?

Some could say that my tagging style is excessive:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dembassy
In that example, the name:* tags could be renamed to official_name:*
and a shorter set of name:* tags could be introduced, e.g.,
name=Russian Embassy.  Some boundary relations for countries define
both name:* and official_name:*.
