The proposal is unclear and appears to deprecate route and way names of a
form that are common around here for what I consider to be good reasons.
(In any case, 'description' appears to be an inappropriate tag for whatever
it is you are proposing.) More details on the talk page.

[Tagging] Proposal: Use description instead of name for route relations

[Andrew Hain]

I have started a new proposal: that the name tag should be restricted to the 
same meaning for route relations that it has on other elements and that the 
description tag should be used otherwise.

Proposal: Use description instead of name for route 
relations
I have started a new proposal: that the name tag should be restricted to the 
same meaning for route relations that it has on other elements and that the 
description tag should be used otherwise.

Re: [Tagging] building:levels and flat roofs

This building seems to have no "roof level" in the sense of 3D mapping, 
which would be a level within the slanted part of a gabled roof or 
similar roof shape.


(Also, although it's more of an aside, to me B looks as if it's just a 
kind of railing around a platform at the same elevation as A, not a 
separate level below it. If that's the case, the building has only 6 
levels in total.)


So for the purposes of Simple 3D Buildings, I would say this is a 
building with 6 levels and roof:levels set to 0 (or just omitted). The 
building as a whole as well as the tallest building part should be 
tagged building:levels=6, and the second building part would be tagged 
building:levels=5.


Whether you stack the building parts on top of each other (with a 
building:min_level tag on the upper one) or put them next to each other 
is ultimately up to you, although the former feels more natural to me here.
