Having just spent 2 months mapping schools I can see the logic of
something which seemed a problem previously. The tools do not yet fully
follow this style of tagging, but it is the ideal approach.

SITE
Area
amenity=pub
Details for the pub are at this level.

Within the site ...
parking, play areas, buildings and so on can be mapped and tagged, with
building=pub and other details.

Replace amenity=pub with school, collage, hospital and so on and each
area can be properly mapped.

Where an amenity is within another larger area such as a shopping mall
then the 'amenity' may well be an area within a larger building so
having the same tags for amenity and building makes perfect sense. Now
we just need the tools to add back in the links between the larger area
amenity and it's components?
