It says now: "A farm can be a part of a place" Then simply, don't use the key 'place' but a subset of the place=isolated_dwelling I know how difficult it is to deprecate a tag. In OSM it is almost impossible. That's why people are just piling up new tags without cleaning up the previous similar ones. I don't give more than 3 monthes until a hugh thread comes on this list asking a clarification between the different "place" values. For instance, I wish good luck to the guy who will update the page Key:place and write: place=farm In some countries the official type of a residential area smaller than a hamlet (Germany: Gehöft <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/de:Geh%C3%B6ft>). place=isolated_dwelling In some countries the official type of a residential area smaller than a hamlet (Germany: nicht ein Gehöft<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/de:Geh%C3%B6ft>). It's really sad that we start mixing keys 'building' and 'place' just because they have a locality name. Pieren
