As Francois says, a lattice tower is not a building. & "undocumented" is
also a bit of a problem! I didn't even know such a tag existed & it's not
listed on the map features page

Could be, but currently man_made:communications_tower renders one way,
tower:type=communications & second way & tower:type=observation a different
way again. If you combine communications;observation, which would it render
as?

Another one that I didn't know of the existence of. The only reference I
could find to pole was power=pole purely for supporting electrical cables.
Somebody else, earlier in this discussion, also made reference to
man_made=pole being undocumented but used for roof-top mobile phone antennae
