Hi, I have a problem with the usage values other yes in key building. It seems to me that this any other usage of building=yes (for area type) is almost purely redundant.
When looking at taginfo [1], building has following three top most key usages: yes 119260798 85% house 11592812 8% residential 3145218 2% ... So, other than "yes" has a frequency of 15% and less. Then, when looking at the wiki page [2] it mostly points to alternative tags, like * building=apartment => tourism=apartment * building=hotel => tourism=hotel * building=warehouse => shop=department_store (no indication to that in warehouse * building=church/cathedral => amenity=place_of_worship * building=school/hospital => amenity=school/hospital Sometimes when looking at wiki pages of building=* they even don't mention the preferred tagging, like building=apartment [3]. I tend to stipulate that any other value than yes for key building should be deprecated. Or am I missing something? Yours, S.
