At OpenStreetMap I have tried tagged a number of apartments/rowhouses, but the numbers don’t show up on in the map at openstreemap.org. I know I’m not only mapping for openstreetmap.org, but it would be much more useful, if I could tag in a way which is actually shown on the important map.
I would use addr:unit on the entrance nodes rather than ref
I would also tag addr:housenumber and addr:street on the building ways, rather than as a floating node, so that the building and its entrances can all be tied together. If you don’t want to tag the building ways, you can add addr:housenumber and addr:street on each entrances
