Okay, I will consider this.
I see many places in CZ where  some houses have addr:street=*
but also many have not, while all of them have the same addr:place value.

Look at Bubovice in CZ for example:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/442330

Results for Overpass queries with
addr:housenumber=* and addr:place=* and addr:street=* in Bubovice : 87 nodes
addr:housenumber=* and addr:place=* and addr:street!=* in Bubovice : 114 nodes

In this case most streets have names, so I think mkgmap should
try to find the closest road and use the road name for the address.

The current code in r3529 treats the numbers with addr:street separated from the others
and adds the label Bubovice to the roads so that the search for the houses without addr:street
works. That makes no sense here.
