I did not find the answer in the wiki. There is no general answer to this question. My personal suggestion is to tag them with "landuse=residential" and not include the streets (if they're actually residential areas), or commercial, retail etc. according to what is there. You might also want to split the block into more than one landuse if it is required to better represent reality. Cheers, Martin
