Thanks Phil. Unfortunately, I personally prefer to avoid tags which 
don't render unless there is absolutely no other option. It seems a 
little bit useless to put in all the work, and in the end it doesn't 
show on the map. At least I think so :-)

I will probably attach the extra tags to the pub node or building.
