I also often tag building=* about its structure without tagging building:use Note also that building tag is not about historical data. Industrial buildings with fast food inside is building=industrial Remodeled industrial building that lost indicators of its original use is not building=industrial -+-- Btw, can you link evidence that building tag was originally for current use, not for current appearance?
