If there is one big change I would like to make it would be to greatly reduce the scope of man_made=works. 

Most factories are buildings, So building=industrial (and so on for the office, etc) And landuse=industrial for the area the factory sits on. 

For the giant gas refineries which are a giant tangle of pipes and tubes and everything taking up huge amount of space without a specific building, man_made=works seems appropriate. 

Currently,  building=industrial +landuse=industrial has usurped man_made=works completely.
