I believe that we shouldn't focus on the wikipedia definition of building, as in OSM the tag tends to be used in a more general way (the English term "structure" seems to fit better). We shouldn't focus (IMHO) whether something can be moved, but rather if it will moved often. Being movable should be the only reason to exclude something from being a "building". A houseboat or floating home might qualify as a building for osm, even if it isn't for some national law on buildings (or is for other law or in other jurisdiction). FWIW, everything can be moved, it depends on the motivation if it will be moved. See here for a famous building moved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdJwt12CCVo Or here (a genuine roman temple in California): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearst_Castle#mediaviewer/File:Hearst_Castle_pool.jpg Or these: http://s.hswstatic.com/gif/house-moving-3.jpg http://www.penmachine.com/images/housemove-lg.jpg http://www.dbhousemovers.com/i//cabela_house_033_1.jpg ... cheers, Martin
