For example, building:structure is widely used to tell if buildings are made of masonry, reinforced concrete, etc. It would make sense for soft_storey to be a value of that key. https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/building:structure


no, this clearly isn’t a suitable key because the soft story property from what you wrote above is about a structural detail in some floors while building structure is about the general structural system of a building or part of it. Using the same key would lead to either or decisions where both should be taggable.


What is really trying to be tagged?
The earthquake susceptibility of a building/structure? In that case use some words to indicate that?
earthquake_susceptibility=soft_story ?

There are other things that are earthquake susceptible too, so it needs to be able tag them too.
