I know mineshaft you can get very close to (2-3m). With your argument half 
of the features of OSM should not be mapped e.g. historic=wreck or streets 
within the ground of a factory. And once again: mineshafts which have a 
headframe are very good points of reference. Often names of mineshafts are 
also used to describe where something is (e.g. somebody could say: "You will 
not know the street, but it's near the Foobar Mineshaft."). Mineshafts and 
mines are also mapped on many commercial maps.
