Thanks for clarifying Jo - I think this is all ok as long as we give users the 
option to say whether they think their `amenity=shelter` is a building or not.  
 For the bus shelters I could see it as either way but would not override a 
local mapper’s choice.

Maybe we should start a separate thread for “what is a `building=*` really” 
because this is something I see frequent confusion over.

Thanks, Bryan
