Hi Clifford,

I try to stick to how things are in reality - as I believe OSM should 
reflect reality (unless I'm wrong?). So if a car park comes all the way 
to the building, and there is nothing else in between (green space etc.) 
- then I will glue them together. But maybe my view on that one is not 
really "kosher"?
