I must chime in on this discussion. I disagree with Tobias' view. Some of us are mapping in areas with very low resolution imagery. Yet, if a house is visible, especially in remote regions, I want to be able to map it even if it's not clear enough or large enough to have a shape drawn. I have mappe

I see nothing wrong with building=* on a node, used 772612 times. Typical cases are: - somebody collects house numbers along a road, but has no access to the geometry. Thus she can use plain addr: tags on unbuilt properties, and add building=* where a building is visible. - aerial imagery o
