I'd probably use building=terraced_house for all recent developments I know who
call themselves townhouse, but looking into WP showed that in Britain the
meaning "refers to the town or city residence of a member of the nobility or
gentry, as opposed to their country seat":
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townhouse_(Great_Britain)
(different meanings in AE and BE of the same word somehow make it less usable
as a tag (I.e. townhouse), because you'll get more mistagging than the average
whatever you define in the wiki)
"house" alone is quite generic and also used for detached houses, better go
for a little more specificity
cheers,
Martin
