+1, please try to be more precise than just building=yes.
I also use retail (for shops) and apartments.
Churches should be building=church and for schools use building=school.
Just look at the building page [1] on the wiki, you might start using other
values as well (commercial, farm, barn, ....)

Another nice improvement is to map the area of large shops and their
parkings as landuse=retail
