I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with anybody but try to stick to the
argument, I think that tourism is the right tag for
tourism=information (also the right "main" tag), but I never agreed
with tourism=artwork, tourism=hotel, tourism=museum and others.

the definition says for the key: "Places and things of specific
interest to tourists: places to see, places to stay, things and places
providing support. "
I would change this and remove places to stay, places to see and stick
only to things and places providing support.

I'd prefer "accommodation" for places to sleep, and "eat_and_drink" or
"gastronomy" or sth. similar for restaurants, bars, etc.

I don't agree to use building for functions but would prefer to keep
building for the building itself, it's typology, architect, roof type,
floor number, construction type, construction material, parts (like
facade) etc.

cheers,
Martin
