Some buildings *will* show up the POI icon, others won't. Some POI nodes with address info seem to prioritise the address, some the amenity/etc. type.
Surely it makes sense to keep all information about on physical feature in one node/way/area rather than having several proximate entities referring to the same thing? The old rule of "don't map for the renderer" must apply to inconsistent rendering of POIs. Tom -- http://tom.acrewoods.net http://twitter.com/tom_chance
