@ martin - 

In Japan, the "neighborhood" industrial shops are really common, especially 
here in car parts land Gunma (Home of Subaru, Mitsuba and Ogura). We're talking 
two guys in a garage running (truly) industrial metal stamping machines to make 
simple brackets or whatnot for cars. Tokyo's rebirth after world war II is due 
to this lack of zoning regulation. It continues to this day - The cities around 
me are full of tiny industrial plants the size of a house, buried in 
neighborhoods and commercial areas alike.

Check it out on street view.

Every day as I bike down that street, the constant "Ka-chunk" of the stamper 
and the recycle boxes out front full of punched sheets of steel remind me that 
industrial production can be a a very small scale.  the owner's house is on the 
plot behind it. 

Surely metal press cutting hundreds of thousands of pieces of steel for car 
production is industry, right? 


@ Martin & Mateusz -

But what if we separate the pool from the landuse? make it a water feature 
(because it is usually briney seawater at first), and place it in the landuse 
the tagger feels is appropriate? Industrial for a large plant, a farm field (or 
comemrical?) for a little one? 

A small artisanal shop for glass finery isn't the same as a windshield 
production plant - thought they both use glass furnaces.  One certainly is 
commercial/retail, and one certainly is industrial. 

Maybe we should separate the production method from the intended landuse.
