Problem with that ruling is you would end up with tiny little odd-shaped pockets of "industry" separated by space. Whereas I think a large, unbroken region like this: http://osm.org/go/uGt0Ttv7- is actually a lot more informative. Furthermore, you might be reduced to categorising individual elements of the factory. Would the administrative wing really be landuse=industrial? Surely it should be landuse=commercial. etc etc. I don't think there's any single answer that can give the right information to every consumer. Sometimes OSM has to make actual choices between different uses of the data.
