I was hoping for something with less Christian connotations.  Besides
having a zero taginfor score, landuse=templeyard  (also temple_yard)
is just balkanizing the tagging.  landuse=precinct
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precinct#Religion) might have been
better, but that also has a zero score, and it is maybe not a well
known term ("temple precinct" has 54,000 hits on Google, though
(58,000 with church and 27,000 with cathedral).  Do I have a prima
facie case for proposing precinct, here?

I wonder if there is an efficient way to search for the immediate
containing feature for building=temple, to find precedents.  I guess
one can xapi the temples, then do a bounding box fetch around each.
