As Simon P says "we allow and support progression from rough to more detailed."

To use your terrace example:

building=yes is OK, but far from perfect
building=terrace is good, but there's still room for improvement
mapping each house & tagging them building=house/office etc is much better especially if combined with other tags such as addresses.

What detail you decide to map to is up to you, depending on time & patience.

Is it OK to map multiple buildings as one closed line with the building=yes tag? Or does building=yes imply it is one single building? There is the terrace value, but that implies one orderly structure, not the hodgepodge of houses, buildings and extensions that define organically grown blocks.

There are a couple of "multiple" values too, which make sense, but is undocumented and maybe overly precise.
