ok, so it is about usage, not about architectural typology, right? You could add this tag also for a dwelling under a bridge or for a dwelling in a church?

I'd prefer to stick to established tags like building:use complemented by the floors it applies to, AFAIR like proposed in the 3D section of the wiki
