mapper (probably HOT) can refer to when they are mapping. So it needs
to be fairly comprehensive to stop the young ladies and gentlemen from
being a little too creative in their tagging.<br>
<br>
HOT asks them to map buildings but may not explain in the project
instructions how a "non-standard" building should be mapped and I'm
seeing some very creative efforts as I search for duplicate buildings.<br>

I'm noticing new mappers attempting to map more complex buildings. Do
we have something to cover an internal courtyard, a multi level building
ie
religious has a spire etc.
