[HOT] How to tag traditional housing?

[hyances at gmail.com]

Hi,

It seems building tag is related about his type and/or uses [1].
 Construction material could be an attribute of building, so I propose
something like:

building:material={mud, stone, adobe, cement, brick, etc}

Similar to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building:levels
