Are they under the military or under the civilian government?

How does OSM separate out other government/military departments? Use the same method for these.
Why does an 'Intelligence facility' require different tagging?

        Have a look here for one of the most prominent examples:
        https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/186025617
        <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/186025617>
        names in 7 languages, but landuse=government is the only tag
        that describes the feature, really?


    The people working there are office workers.
    office=intelligence_agency?


Think the same thing would apply to all of them - after all, how many actual intelligence agents does "MI6" really have? :-)

But I also agree with what Martin said - had a look at MI6 earlier https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.48720/-0.12381, & it's tagged as both landuse=military & also "Govt Office", with the name Secret Intelligence Service! Surely we could do better than that? :-)

Thanks

Graeme
