I just want to add my understanding of the building tags:

building=xxx (with no other tags like building:use): it looks like a
xxx and is used as xxx
building:use=xxx: it is used as xxx, but might not look like one
building:type=xxx: it looks like xxx, but might not be used as xxx

So building=hangar to me is a building that was built as a hanger,
therefore looks like one and is used as one. If I now add
building:use=warehouse, it still looks like a hangar but is not used
as such but instead as a warehouse.

Right/wrong/both of it?
Do we need that?
Are there examples, where the we need building:use? For most cases we already have corresponding tags that would double the building:use:
shop=*, a lot of values in amenity=*, the aeroway=hangar example...
I don't think building:use ever is useful instead of or additional to the corresponding fitting "real" tag; but perhaps you (or anybody else can give examples of usages, where such a tag is missing or where there are reasons not to use/invent one.
