Abutters has fallen out of favor and landuse areas are preferred. As described in [1] "falling out of favor" suggests the question "out of favor with who?" and "but what if I really want to use the older tag?" That's cool. Particularly where things get "interesting" I prefer to tag the verifiable details, rather than generalizations like landuse. So I'll add the row of residential, light industrial, commercial, residential, school, residential, church, drive-in theatre along one stretch of road, rather than look for the perfect tag for mixed-use-plus-entertainment.
