Hi all, just to follow up on the buildings discussion - it seems that it's not likely that node-buildings will be rendered in the standard cartography, see https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/806.
However, I think there is a case for rendering node-buildings in the HOT cartography? I'll file a suggestion here: https://github.com/ hotosm/HDM-CartoCSS.
