Based on my understanding of term "commercial ara" and how landuse tagging is used in OSMI think that area with restaurants, hotels, cinemas fits landuse=commercial. But I want to confirm that before editinghttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dcommercial

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (consulate)

Please let me clarify.  The three categories [embassy, consulate, other] are based on their status as diplomatic missions as defined by international law, which is how governments look at them, label them, and relate to them.  Within those categories functional differences can and often do exist,
