[talk-pr] Is there a negative consequence of removing POI nodes when a building polygon has been tagged with all relevant information

[Jeff Haack]

Search will work the same with points and polygons.  I believe it is
incorrect to have a point with identical information to a polygon, better
to use a polygon if you can draw it.  It seems common though to draw a
building and then put POIs as points within it when there are numerous
shops in the same building.

Re: Marshall's, I don't think there is a common accepted standard on this.
 What I typically do is map the whole building as something if the vast
majority of it is taken up by one place, as is the case with Marshall's.
 But arguably it could be done with a POI too.
