E.g. Service Station could have 5 or 6 types of fuel, an address, a phone number, notes about ancillary services - car wash, groceries, telephone, atm machine, A number of these are "amenity=xxx" and if you merge the nodes you will have data loss, or difficulty in post-processing data if you string it all together. The next category are things that are at different heights in the same location - a multistorey building with basement parking, ground level shops, upper levels offices and on the roof various aerials. How will you merge all of those and not lose information?
