for an example of a  simple building of uniform length/width ... ?

building=mixed
building:part:retail:level=0-1
building:part:commercial:level=2
building:part:apartment:level=3-25


I and I suspect many others are not familiar with indoor mapping .. and 
the wiki does not help the beginner here. But the simple mapper wants a 
tag to describe the building= .. without going into the details of what 
is inside, the levels, roof ... they want to map the basics and move on. 
So they are best served by a simple 'building=mixed' tag and they can 
then go on to the next thing to map.
