My Idea is that you probably shouldn't tag something as "architectural monument", as this is highly subjective and there is no absolute way of telling something is a monument or not. Also this will vary according to fashion. Adding attributes like the architect or the construction date will already allow for basic filtering (getting maybe the more interesting buildings), important buildings will also likely have an article in wikipedia so adding this will also help identifying them. Every way of tagging, which requires "voting" or "rating" of buildings in some way or the other, is not suitable for OSM (is subjective, is an opinion and not a fact). cheers, Martin
