[OSM-newbies] Building parts

[Serge Wroclawski]

Xan,

Richard's answer was complete and correct. There is a term in OSM,
"Don't tag for the renderer":

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer

Richard was saying that since the thing you want is not rendered by
the default renderer, you can either fix it yourself (ie make a patch
and submit it back) or make your own custom map.

Do not add a different tag just to make the thing appear on the map.
If you do, you are very likely to have your contribution deleted.
