On a related note, I, too, am stuck with a similar problem.  I want to
'correctly' tag apartment complexes.  These are large areas of land with
several apartment blocks within.

Here are three apartment complexes close together:

I couldn't find a satisfactory scheme in the Wiki, so I tagged them like

I have been meaning to ask if this is a Good Thing, but clearly didn't get
around to it yet.  Maybe I should post to the Tagging list, but it seemed
relevant to this message.

Thanks,

Andrew
