The OSM wiki seems to have conflicting information. In "How to map", it states : > Set a node or draw as an area along the building outline. Tag it with building=* However, under values, each option depicts using an area as the appropriate way to map the object. Discussion on the linked GitHub issue page suggests that it is inappropriate to map buildings this way, and that osm-carto does not display node buildings. The philosophy however, is *don't tag for the renderer*. Is it appropriate to use nodes as opposed to no data at all (outlines (obviously outlines are significantly more time consuming)?consuming, but by using nodes some data is present instead of none at all)?
