Following a JOSM discussion I wanted to ask here, if someone else is
using building=entrance to tag entrance buildings.
It is a term that seems well introduced and understandable, so there
is not much hindering people from using it, just that there was the
bad practice to use the same tag on nodes for what is now done with
the "entrance" key.
sorry, missed the link https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/22570
any comments on the tag? Someone else using it for buildings?
Two thoughts offhand:
1) I feel pretty strongly that any value of building=* should refer to a
type of building. To me, building=entrance would sound like an attempt
at tagging something similar to building=gatehouse.
2) building=* on a node is just fine; we don't always have sufficient
aerial imagery or other data to discern an acceptable footprint. (That's
on a freestanding node of course; building=* on a node that's part of
another building's perimeter would be a problem.)
