Looking at this building in photography or real life I will not call it "probably a cathedral", based on style, shape, size and look. So no building=cathedral for me neither.

But even if it was, as said, I won't use building=cathedral and I think it is well explained in the wiki page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dplace_of_worship at section "Architectural style of buildings" Function (not form) might be better defined with an administrative-related set of tags, such as discussed here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:boundary# Religious_authority_boundaries boundary=religious_administration religion=* denomination=* admin_level=* > size is not everything, surely you have noticed this is from the nineth century? Well, the Wikipedia page reads: built as a royal chapel, not built as a cathedral. It was not considered a cathedral then. -- althio
