                I know there is a way to tag what the building as to
                what it was
                initially used for - but i don't think that is the
                proper way
                (afaik).


            So what do you think about building=church +
            amenity=museum then?

            I think we need some clear, general rules. Current system is
            horrible in this matter, but I'd like it to be at least a bit
            coherent.


        building=museum.

        A museum is no more an amenity than a house is.


    So why do we use building=church + amenity=place_of_worship?

    If we tag the building with its function (and not the shape), we
    already know that this is a place of worship.


A 'church' should be building=place_of_worship - the building where the church congregates - if you want to be accurate about it. Quite a few churches meet in other buildings built for other purposes.


But not all 'place_of_worship' are buildings.

A church has a particular style, as does a mosque. Both are 'place_of_worship' but the buildings are different.

If museums are not an amenity but building? Are all mappable 'museums' buildings? I don't know.

-----------------------------
To me the confusion arises out of mapping what is on the ground (e.g. buildings) compared to the function (e.g. 'place_of_worship').

Perhaps that should be identified on the wiki .. with a similar prominence as the 'status' property?

---------------------------------------------
man_made=works .. makes no sense as a tag as I don't know what to expect on the ground nor as a function. ... building=industrial is much better.
