[Tagging] Status of building=stable

[Martin Vonwald]

You're right. I'll change the proposal in the following way:
a) building=stable, no building:use: looks like a stable, used as a stable
b) building=stable, building:use=<not stable>: looks like a stable,
but used for something different
c) building=<whatever>, building:use=stable: looks like <whatever>,
but is used as stable

I assume, that the majority of who used building=stable in the past
meant "it is used as a stable".

Better?
