I can see what maintenance burden this notation could bring, but I would
need more information to see what we could gain from it.

landuse=* seemed appropriate for most use cases I have encountered. Why do
we need to tag this on a building resolution?

What data consumers did you have in mind?

What common interest does this annotation serve?

What is the verification criteria? Do I need to station next to the
building in working hours for a given amount of time and declare it
occupied if I see any person entering or leaving, and mark it unoccupied
otherwise? Or is it enough if I see indirect indications, such as open
windows (what is they are motorized and remote controlled), lighting (some
leave it always on for security)?

Is it enough if I see a resident through the window? How do I know if the
person is not merely a guard or an intermittent maintenance personal?

If a storage building complex is only occupied by a guard (supervised=* /
surveillance:type=guard), do you consider it occupied?

Do you consider weekend houses occupied if they are only occupied
intermittently or even seasonally? How do I verify this?

Note that we usually do not add fixme kind of tagging for the sole purpose
of marking the absence of regular information, as by definition, a blank
map is missing an infinite amount of information and we would definitely
not like to store so many fixme's.

Although I acknowledge it is sometimes easy to distinguish abandoned
buildings, especially if it is missing furniture, doors or windows, but we
have life cycles for that.
