I agree that it would be desirable to have more detail on government offices, e.g. being able to distinguish the tax office from the immigration office etc. I'd see this under the office tag and not in "landuse". This is an enormous pile of work to do, as there are many different kind of these, and the detailed structure is different in every country. On the other hand, the idea of having a wastewater plant, a fire station, a court and a federal ministry categorized the same civic landuse doesn't seem very appealing to me. I believe that "civic" might be too generic (but maybe I just don't understand this right, hence the question for what is included and excluded). cheers, Martin
