Description
The duplicate housenumbers warning is forcing a certain mapping style on the mappers which is not universally useful: in Italy (and likely in some other place as well) the housenumbers refer to entrances (of properties or houses), so it is agreed they should be mapped as nodes.
On the other hand, mappers also want to store explicit address information of features. The result is duplicate occurences of addr:housenumber, one as address on a feature and one on the gate or entrance.
If we would require addr:housenumber to be unique we would have to create relations to assign the same address to multiple features for most of the features in the country.

Duplicate housenumbers are not reported if they are POIs. POI means in this context "has one of these keys": "shop", "amenity", "tourism", "leisure", "emergency", "craft", "office", "name"

I must admit I don’t recall the object where the false warning occurred, looking at the list it was probably some “historic” tag. I’ll keep an eye open and update this when I can provide more details
