I said that if it was a church and looks like a church then tag the building as a church even if it now functions as something else. Somebody said he added a note to the effect that it was once a church, I said that note might be better as a description. The note or description are there to clarify the tagging in order to minimize the risk of confusion in somebody who has trouble reconciling building=church with shop=convenience. -- Paul
