Thanks again, Adam.
That was also helpful. It brings up a question about sorting. After
sorting, are the elements arranged according to their coordinates, that is

In OSM I would expect the term government not to be a foreign government
but a resident one.
So I would use a different term, office=diplomatic for example.

Good point. Many embassies and consulates are an office in an office building,
not an area. I represent them with a node in my mapping of Ashgabat (see the

if you known the "land scope" of a consulate,
of course you may add it like we did sometime for school
and thus all tag are only on one polygon.
but landuse can't be the main tag, because if you have no idea about the
scope of a consulate, or if the consulate only have a level inside a
building,
