Why would it - a standalone former school in a city that now houses something else doesn't necessarily have to acquire a surrounding polygon.

It is true that this is the canonical way of dealing with things, however it would be interesting to check how mappers and editing tools actually use this. We might well find that everyone is confused about this. When we say "a cafe in an old church" we think of a building that has certain properties that make it discernible as a church even long after it ceased to be one; however, depending on location and denomination, you might also build a church using a blueprint for a plain community centre. In that case would it still be building=church becasue that was the original, intended use? What if apartments are put into an old factory building - building=industrial and ...? I think we cannot simply throw the distinction over board and therefore I do not agree with Josh, but I also think the distinction is not really well thought out/well implemented in OSM and needs clarification.
