this is not a clear rule, e.g. I wouldn't consider it wrong to have an area
tagged as amenity=bank, atm=yes and have another object amenity=atm for the
(same) atm. The atm=yes is an attribute that says: this bank also has an
atm (it's a property of the bank). And the amenity=atm says: this is the
atm.

not clear. In my world the convenience store is part of the gas station. ;-)

an address can be seen as a feature on its own, but it can also be an
attribute of another feature.
