I don't mind how we differentiate them (1st level or subtags), but
they should be tagged somehow differently IMHO. There is quite a vast
variety of towers, differentiated by construction type and material,
usage/typology (ranging from campanile, firefighter-tube-drying,
fortress, watchtower, viewtower, skyscraper, tv-tower, oil drilling to
ancient towers in citywalls and noble residences), size/height. Then
there are antennas, which IMHO do not fall in the tower category, but
stretching it's meaning possibly also could:
