When wanting to add a building or area outline for an USGS GNIS imported Point of Interest, is it better to:
1) Create the building (building=yes), with no additional tags identifying it as the specific building (hostpital, fire station, etc). And leave the GNIS tagged Point of Interest node on top. Or... 2) Create the building (building=yes), copy all of the GNIS tags to the building, delete the original Point of Interest node. Option (1) seems to be OK, if it is a building, but not sure it would work if it is a property outline... for examle, a school campus. If I want to outline the school campus and set that to (amenity=school), and the GNIS Point of Interest node is also left there, we see two icons rendered. But if I don't tag the Area as a school, it isn't rendered properly. I guess my concern is corrupting the USGS GNIS data by converting from a Point to an Area (closed ways). Is this even a concern? Thanks, David
