but the building is also a thing, it has its own properties, e.g. start_date, 
wikipedia reference, architect, operator, name, height, etc 

yes, often you can understand which tag belongs to which object, when several 
objects are represented by one OpenStreetMap object (and that’s why we tolerate 
this kind of representation), but strictly, you can’t even know whether the 
name belongs to the building or to the occupant (it “works” because you assume 
that buildings mostly don’t have names).
