But the second is more difficult. It exhibits the main characteristics of a 
mast but it has some sort of accommodation near the top, which might persuade 
me to tag it as a tower. Very tricky to tag.

to me that is clearly a tower, btw. the first of its kind, from 1956, and 
copied multiple times (e.g. by the Berlin tv tower). I d call the concrete part 
a shaft rather than a mast, but even mast might not be completely wrong, just 
that with the cafe on top it clearly becomes a tower.


Then,as if to add insult to injury, Marc and you add an example where what 
might be tagged as either mast or tower clearly has another mast on top of it.

yes, that's quite typical, having a mast on top of a tower (or tower building), 
also because it's a cheap method to get your tower a bigger height in ranking 
lists ;-)

layer=o, tower

layer=1, mast.

Some 'masts' have attached external hand/foot holds to aid climbing for service 
personnel,
so I would think that the 'mast' definition detail should  exclude access on 
the inside of the structure to help distinguish it from a 'tower'.


cheers
