Not answering your question as such, but it would be nice if things like amenity=hospital, amenity=school, amenity=place_of_worship and others could be brought into some sort of common standard. Amenity=school is often used to mark the extent of the school grounds with individual buildings being added with a building=* tag (picking an example not by me http://osm.org/go/0esi...@t- ) I have seen hospitals similarly mapped (though sometimes I've seen a building tagged with both building=hospital and amenity=hospital, all on a larger area tagged amenity=hospital), or on its own. Amenity=place_of_worship though seems to be targeted specifically at a building (node or closed way), so not (as) suitable for this as schools and hospitals (especially with the current Mapnik style of dark grey which hides any buildings on any amenity tagged areas which I have seen somewhere once). There are probably more amenity values similar, though these are the three that spring to mind. This has probably already been covered before, here and on the wiki, but I would say the above are candidates to be dropped from amenity= and have both a landuse= for the area and a building= equivalent for each. I realise there are loads in the database, editors have presets, lots of people are using them already, but standardising on their usage would make things easier for newer mappers to pick up and presumably consumers of the data. It's a minor annoyance which is why I mention it. It's not a big enough annoyance for me to start suggesting major changes unless other people think it worthwhile and achievable.
