I added a number of building=floating_home tags. (Think of "Sleepless in Seattle") For all practical purposes they are houses that just happen to be on water. Homes on water comprise of floating homes and houseboats. A houseboat is a house built on top of a boat like hull, often a barge. Floating homes are built on floating logs. While a floating home can be moved, they are stay in place. While a houseboat does get moved. Man_made is probably a better fit than building for houseboats. People often confuse houseboats with floating homes. It could be that these structures are incorrectly tagged. I would not recommend any mass edit to change them to man_man.
