From time to time I come across addresses where there is a supplementary description between the house number and the street name. Examples, with the supplementary information in bold, are:
The former is a retail unit in part of what was a railway station. The other is a block of flats in an old factory where each staircase of flat has a separate name: there are multiple flats sharing the no. 8 in the building, so the entire address is required. I'd be interested in suggestions as to how to map these in such a way to maintain reasonable compatibility with the Karlsruhe Schema other than using the |

The bold parts are names of (parts of) buildings, so I would put them in the addr:housename tag. I wouldn't worry too much about the "or" in the proposal in "housename or housenumber", as I can't find the "or" on the feature page. OK how about 1, Naranjan Mews, Gedling Grove (where Mews is a short side street, but the main street Gedling Grove is still part of the address). On OSM http://osm.org/go/eu8ZpEkZr--.

If both parts are streets and both are part of the official address then IMHO both belong in addr:street. I.e.: addr:street=Naranjan Mews, Gedling Grove

The Karlsruhe Schema you linked has a tag named addr:full which is already often used in GB. I have amended the question to add, other than using addr:full!

I don't mind using this tag, and I already knew about it and have used it, so didn't need to ask a question about it. (Of course your answer is useful for anyone who did not know about addr:full). I would prefer a tagging scheme which did not require complex address parsing in any post-processing. A significant goal is to be able to provide an open equivalent of the UK Postal Address File (PAF), see Matt Williams' Postcode Finder http://milliams.dev.openstreetmap.org/postcodefinder/about/.
