But not all 'place_of_worship' are buildings.

A church has a particular style, as does a mosque. Both are 
'place_of_worship' but the buildings are different.

If  museums are not an amenity but building? Are all mappable 'museums' 
buildings?  I don't know.

-----------------------------
To me the confusion arises out of mapping what is on the ground (e.g. 
buildings) compared to the function (e.g. 'place_of_worship').

Perhaps that should be identified on the wiki .. with a similar 
prominence as the 'status' property?

---------------------------------------------
man_made=works .. makes no sense as a tag as I don't know what to expect 
on the ground nor as a function.  ... building=industrial is much better.
