Should buildings adjacent to each other be mapped: 1) individually, with shared boundaries 2) individually, with an arbitrarily small gap between boundaries 3) as one contiguous area?
An example of a row of adjacent buildings: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-27.664894&lon=153.031072&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF. The roofs of the buildings are distinguishable from each other using aerial imagery, but the row of buildings may well appear as a single building from the ground. I tend to think 1) or 3) is the correct solution. I hesitate to use 3) due to [1], which says: "For areas adjacent to ways, the consensus is to generally leave a small gap between the area and the way instead of sharing the boundary". What about *areas adjacent to areas*? [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions#Tagging_Areas
