I'd tag the school area with amenity=school and the hall with building=school_hall & amenity=place_of_worship. This allows you to keep building type and function seperate. As "amenity=place_of_worship" doesn't mean "church", but rather "religious place", I also tag "normal churches" as building=church & amenity=place_of_worship. -Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
