[Tagging] building=yes on nodes?

[Lukas Sommer]

I would like to return to the original question:

1.) I think it is confusing to have building=cowshed allowed on nodes,
but building=cabin not allowed. We should unify this. Either _all_
building=* keys can be used on nodes, or _none_.

2.) If we agree on 1.), would we opt to allow nodes or to disallow
nodes? After reading the previous comments, I would tend to allow it.

Best regards

Lukas
