I seldom if ever use `building=entrance` for anything. Routing and rendering appear to work just fine with `entrance=*`, as on the four entrances to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1117519651 If this usage is incorrect, then we probably need to raise issues with the various editors, since JOSM at least has never warned me of underspecified tagging on these. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin
