A discussion along these lines comes to mind: "From the secondary school,
walk west along Arbuthnot Street for about
half a mile until you come to a church.  It's not really a church any more,
it was deconsecrated years ago and is now
a family home, but look for a church."  Would it be more useful to tag it
as building=church or building=house?

Similarly, ask a child to draw a church.  Or a house.  Or even a
supermarket.

That's why I have strong doubts about building=gastronomic (or whatever it
ends up being).  I know what a church looks
like.  Ditto for supermarket, industrial unit, warehouse and house.  I
cannot bring to mind a typical restaurant architecture.
