[Tagging] Change of rendering: place of worship and terminal without building tag

[Matthijs Melissen]

I had a look in Padova, and I noticed that most polygons tagged
amenity=place_of_worship in that area are not actually buildings. They
include the gardens, parking areas, and in some cases even tennis and
soccer pitches that apparently are part of the church. In such cases,
a building=yes tag is of course not necessary, and I think it would
also be an improvement if such areas are not rendered as buildings.

I went through about 120 objects in Padova in 10 minutes or so, so
checking them can be done quite quickly. I think the quickest way to
handle this is by installing the Todo plugin in JOSM, opening the Bing
layer, and using the Export-JOSM option. Then you can add all churches
to the Todo list. Go to the next one with the "]" key.

I'm not in charge of the release cycle, so I can't tell exactly when
this will be rolled out, but I think the plan is to roll this out
between now and a couple of days.

I should also mention that the change will only influence the gray
building-like rendering. The religion icon will stay in place
independent of the absence or presence of a building tag.
