Hi Andreas.
I am kind of a detail mapper (mapping sidewalks as own ways and so on),
but I am not sure about indoor mapping in general.
All OSM editor programs I know are not well fitting into the area of
editing more than one level/layer: bridges are okay as nodes are not on
the same location most often, but more is difficult.
If you ever tried to map a stairway from basement to the first floor (or
above) of a building, winding around in between, you will probably know
what I mean.
Mapping rooms is similar: Often Walls are exactly on top of each other
(as they carry the building's structure and roof).
You see: mapping rooms is not trivial in general, but IMHO the problem
is even bigger, if one already mapped the rooms of a building, while
another one wants to fix e.g. the shape of the building itself (this may
happen often).
What to do now with the rooms?
Of course that's a problem we always have when editing other's work; but
here it's really much data that has to be corrected, and it's difficult
to do so.
Room entrances of course are only useful in combination with rooms - so
that's my answer to your question.
BUT:
I would appreciate additions to JOSM (and other editors) helping to deal
with problems like this: multiple levels, the always discussed problem
of parallel osm-ways describing a road and so on.
If there would exist software support, I can imagine useful additional
mapping, yes.
regards
Peter

Hello,
I'm fairly new to openstreetmaps.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/entrance/indoor-usage is
kind of a no-brainer.
There is a feature regarding entrances to buildings. For me it seems
to be suited for indoor mapping to be used for entrances to rooms too.
Would be nice to get comments on this.
Thanks,
Andreas
