But to decide whether "that building looks like a school", you first 
have to define "what a school building looks like".

Those who advocate this 'typology' form of tagging are a bit confused 
whether it's defined by form or function. You're clearly assuming purely 
on its appearance. I wish you'd all make up you minds!

To repeat:
"The glass shoe: If that became, say, a bingo hall, & you walked past it 
for the first time, how "would _you_ perceive it as a church" "type"? 
What knowledge & evidence would you be using?"
