As is shop=*. They are both not purely main objects, but also not purely 
attributes. You go to a building because the shop you want to visit is in it; 
you go to a building because you want to go to the blood collection.

If the building is not primarily the shop, you tag the building with building=* 
and place a node inside with just the shop tags. Similarly for 
healthcare=blood_donation.

This is a bit philosophical.

I did not previously understand your call for a 'room' tag. Indeed I am happy 
without a room tag if the building is not indoor mapped. If indoor mapping ever 
catches on, the outlines of rooms where blood donation takes place can be 
tagged with room=yes and healthcare=blood_donation.

opening_hours=Tu 17:00-19:30 "days on schedule (see website)" seems far from 
perfect. Semantically, IMO, it is implied that the facility is open every 
Tuesday, with a comment for the user. Perhaps the opening_hours syntax could be 
amended.
Another problem is that the mobile collections don't always occur on the same 
day of the week. For example, in Heist, Belgium, The upcoming mobile 
collections are We 19 August, Tu 25 August, Tu 10 November and We 18 November.

I am not convinced that the mobile blood donations can be adequately mapped by 
this. They would at least need an additional tag. Also, they are points that 
are fixed in space, but not in time. OpenStreetMap normally requires both I 
think.

However, I do like the idea of mapping them. Maybe we can ultimately get our 
Red Crosses to use OSM maps on their sites.

Thank you for elaborating on your point of view. I now better understand what 
you meant.
