amenity=school is for the whole area of the school not just the buildings and should carry the name of the school. The buildings of the school could be tagged as building=school. This is how i tagged for the past couple of years and how for example MapOSMatic interpreted amenity=school. This is how http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dschool Shows the usage of the tag. Flo -- Florian Lohoff [email protected] We need to self-defense - GnuPG/PGP enable your email today!
