a bridge is definitely not a building, a bus shelter might be considered a building, depending on your definition (by the one you cited it wouldn't because it is not lockable, but beeing lockable is a overly strict requirement that isn't commonly used). I would see it like this: the tag building in osm covers both, actual buildings but also some technical structures (looking somehow like a building, but not suited for humans to enter and/or stay). Regarding the extension I would say that these are still the same building in many cases (in others it isn't, e.g. if it's completely detached, if it's structurally independent and has its own entrance, etc.). Might be worth considering the "building:part" key as well for many of these. Cheers, Martin
