The issue of service roads already hints at a larger problem: There are
many different things that can be on a rooftop, not just parking.
Therefore, would prefer a generic tag that can be added to any feature,
e.g. location=rooftop.
what about the "surface" value, isn't rooftop (only) parking covered by
parking=surface? I am not completely sure languagewise, and the wiki
doesn't give any definition for the values...
Think of an stone building, with grass on top on which you can park your
car. surface= has to be grass, not rooftop.
First Principle?
There is a thinking that what is seen from the air/satellite is what
should be mapped.
However in a multistory buliding .. what are people coming to the
building for? Should 'we' not map the purpose of the building rather
than just the air/satellite view?For a shopping complex .. that would be
each shop - location, name and serevice. Provision of parking may be
important .. but it is not the most important thing. Only a single
purpose parking complex has the sole function of providing parking.
Second .. Effort?
A miltistory thing will have many surfaces, one floor may be concrete,
another carpet, another stone. Tagging these in some sensible way may be
fine .. but how will they be used? And is it worth the effort?
Considering the quality of the map in some parts of the world would not
these efforts be better spent in improving the map elsewhere? :)

Presently considering a holiday in India .. and making editorials there
to get the routing working (and adding things as I see them while doing
those corrections).
