Martin - Do you have any suggestion for cleaning up the civic=* subkey I was suggesting for building=civic in this way? 

I assume we need a big generic key, and then a many subcategories that fall under that key. 

Building=civic
+
civic:legislation=city council ?
civic:administration=motor_vehicles ?

That kind of thing? It would allow for a lot more description with much fewer tags. I was thinking of letting the amenity on the building dictate if it is a city_hall or a DMV, but this seems to be a good chance to follow the key:subkey=subkey_value structure. 

I know it isn’t  Building:civic=city_council, Which seems to be what you are advocating (I think), but we have to work within the existing structure for building=X  & X=*  still, right?
