A number of months ago, I sent some information regarding the display
of house numbers for building polygons to the mailing list. You should
be able to find this in the archives (sorry, I don't have good access
right now).

If I recall correctly, I changed the name attribute of building=yes
items in the polygons file, such that the house number was displayed
as part of the name of the polygon. It is also possible to map the
polygon to a POI, but this becomes impractical in areas with large
numbers of houses.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
