[Tagging] Mapping hotels on buildings or areas around buildings

[Bryan Housel]

Yes, but the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dhotel <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism=hotel> page says
"Set a node <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Node> or draw as an area <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Area> along the building outline."

This is how iD interprets the tag - as a building outline.  

So if we collectively decide to change `tourism=*` tags to be property outlines (like hospitals and schools), 

I hope:
- somebody opens an issue on iD to let me know to change the wording of the preset.
- somebody creates a challenge to cleanup the existing data that is not tagged this way.
- somebody fixes the wiki (well somebody should do this anyway as it currently says 2 different things)


Thanks, Bryan
