The wiki page [1] currently states consistently in English and German that a
man_made=tower is a solid building while girder frameworks are
man_made=mast.

A tower is a building. It makes absolutely no sense to destroy a clear
definition by throwing in objects from a different domain power=* or
declaring objects that currently are clearly a mast as towers.

Messes up the tagging scheme, messes up all current maps that evaluate
man_made=tower as a building and causes loss of information on all real
towers.

Changing the meaning of an established tag is always a bad idea.

bye, Nop
