This may be true from an archeological point of view, but a tag does not
have to be a scientifically exact term.
Most common tags are not exact matches (e.g. motorway, secondary) or
even need looking up in the wiki or a template before you can use them
(tracktype=grade3).
If we can make non-scientific tags work everywhere else why deviate for
building types?
