What appears to be practice here, although I have only a few mapped examples, is to have office=government appear on the (multi)polygon representing the grounds, and not just on the building. I concede that if you have a single large campus with offices of many agencies, the subtags don't work, so I'm not opposed to a new tag for the landuse. I'm simply concerned whether the handful of local examples that I managed to turn up were mistagged.
The landuse also is perhaps better in that it's a more appropriate tag for 'government' facilities such as a highway maintenance garage. In some of the villages around here, the highway maintenance, police, fire brigade, and village government are all in the same building. I've paid a traffic ticket in front of a justice of the peace who was seated at a judge's bench in the corner of a firehouse, with the engines backed out into the car park while court was in session. Got to love a village of four hundred souls in the middle of nowhere.
