So the question is, after this long-winded nonsense: are the identities of buildings always going to be separate from the buildings themselves in OSM parlance? Is this a regional thing, or is it just with semi-sparse DC data that I'm testing with? Are other people doing point-in-polygon math to do what I'd like to do (having buildings represent places rather than material brick and mortar)?
Tags that apply to the whole building should be on the building. On the other hand, if an amenity occupies a small portion of the building, it should be mapped as a node (or maybe someone's been mapping these as areas inside the building area).
