a bank (for a bank that also has an ATM, use
amenity<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:amenity>
=bank <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:amenity%3Dbank> and
atm<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Key:atm&action=edit&redlink=1>
=yes<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Tag:atm%3Dyes&action=edit&redlink=1>)

building=government or
amenity=public_building<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:amenity%3Dpublic_building>
