My impression was that if a couple buildings are out by themselves, it
makes sense to tag them as a residential area so that these areas are
not missed by the relief agencies. More detailed explanations of how
these maps are used would definitely be helpful, as would some
guidance on distinguishing paths from dry stream beds.

Dear openstreetmappers :)
I'm quite worried about the quality of maps for task 1018.
Many of mappers, obviously, did not check the instructions or even
the tutorials. People want to help, and that's awesome, but maybe
validation should be done my more experienced and meticulous mappers.
I've seen mappers validating more that 10 areas in less than an
hour, and those areas still contain many errors : clusters of
buildings mapped as one, landuse=residential area used for clusters
of nothing more than 1 or 2 buildings, many streams seen as
footpath, many paths in the middle of nowhere...
Maybe instructions should contain some images to show clearly what
is expected, and explain that the purpose of this map is to count
each individual buildings and have roads and paths connected to them
so buildings can be reached by humanitarian teams.
Currently, most of my time on 1018 is to check validated areas
because half of those areas are not correctly mapped.
