I'm repeating much of my of my previous comment, but no, the schema
which hijacked building=* to represent the original historical function
of a building never took off*. The vast majority of contributors use it
for it's current purpose. OSM isn't for the mapping of redundant
historical information.
so building=* is mostly useful
when the uilding does look like it was built for some other function
than it's current one.
How do you know what it was originally used for just from your
interpretation of what a building of a certain function should look
like? It's just guesswork. How does tagging this perception add to, or
improve the quality of the OSM database?

*building:use = 628 167
building!=yes = 65 221 930
