" Ah, the Ordance Survey view of the world: you're either a tower or a steeple ;)"
Many have both!

But then also, this page tells me that "tower:type=bell_tower" is "Widely used for steeples and bell towers": http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dtower Flagpole is easy http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dflagpole The only thing I don't have a ready answer for is "number of steps", and "bells" as distinct from their enclosures. So I'm left suspecting that maybe you're aware of these things but there's an itch they don't scratch...?
