That proposal now suggests amenity=student_accommodation, precisely because of the oddness involved with the term "dormitory". Personally, I prefer using the amenity key rather than building or landuse. Landuse lacks the implication that this is one distinct facility, and building values are not supposed to represent usage, but how the building is built. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
