It doesn't look like that to me. A query on Nottingham finds 16
objects tagged amenity=university, of which 4 are buildings. It looks
to me like Nottingham broadly uses amenity=university at "site level"
rather than "building level" (with some exceptions).

Sounds good.

Oh, absolutely. Sorry for being unclear there: the HOT rendering is
just a real-life example of the rendering problem I wanted to
illustrate.
