<div>Ummm, which pub in St Dogs? The Teifi Netpool Inn is
more of a guest house with a bar</div>

Sure, but OSM isn't just about rendering, let alone just
osm-carto<br>
rendering.</blockquote>

<div>Yes, it's also the data. To some it's ONLY the data.
But for many of us it's both: getting</div>
<div>a useful map is why we do it and we need accurate data to
get a useful map. If the carto does</div>
<div>not meet reasonable expectations then people will either
stop mapping</div>
<div>or will tag for the renderer, either of which will reduce
the accuracy of the data.<br>

If it looks like a church then OSM uses building=church. <br>
<br>
So why not use building=pub??? <br>
<br>
Ok the renders may not presently use the information .. but it does
tag the truth? <br>
<br>
So .. once the tagging is done .. how would you render a building
that is a church/pub but no longer functions as a church/pub? That
is the problem. <br>
