[Talk-GB] Grounds of Places of Worshiip when not Graveyards

[sk53.osm]

The convention exists because the grounds in which a place of worship
exists are rarely places of worship themselves. Try conducting a marriage
in a churchyard (probably the tag you are looking for
landuse=churchyard<http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=churchyard>,
to heavily used but in existence) instead of a church: you need one of the
new-fangled expensive wedding licences. Or telling my local vicar and his
wife that they live in a place of worship.

The churchyard belonging to my mother's church contains, inter alia, two
places of worship (CoE and a Nigerian church), a gym (amenity=fitness) ,
YMCA hostel, two private residences (rented out by the parish)., and as far
as I can make out a small urban farm.

As an alternative we could just take a Quaker view and say all of life is
holy and just tag an object bbox -180,-90,180,90 with
amenity=place_of_worship and be done with it.
