Here is a fine example of this case : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/236843122">http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/236843122</a>
The description tag explains that the reference point is the base of
the christian cross on this bell tower. I think it makes sense of
mapping this this way : in a sense the whole building *is* the
man_made=survey_point. Adding a separate survey_point node would have
little benefit.
There are other examples like this one, but not all of them have a
neat description of where the precise survey point is on the
structure.
On the other hand, some ways look a bit pointless and could probably
be nodes, but a survey is needed to be sure:

<big>True 'survey points' are documented with their precise
location, date of location and description. So looking at that
data would clarify the situation and not require a visit. </big><br>
