Hi Will Many thanks to your answers!
Now I revealed the mystery about key idp:camp_site: It's not [1] you mention but in [2]. And then I found also the possible origin e.g. of keys building:structure or shape:elevation. All these keys are among the top 20 most used tags of Nepal's taginfo [3]: They have been introduced [4] in Tag discussion mailinglist back in 2013 where the base work began way before this disaster! Actually neither one got documented in the OSM wiki. And what I still wonder too, is, why there's no Nepal activation map tile renderer showing the mentioned top 20 keys... -S.
