The problem I have with office=* is that it is not meant to outline the
premisses (parking, entry road - right out to the external fence). Some
have been mapped to there extents, others are single nodes.
The advantage is that it is a simple 1:1 change that removes eh problem
value of 'embassy' and replaces it with 'diplomatic'.
A problem will be the lack of rendering for some time.
