[Talk-scotland] Splitting buildings into parts resulting in multiple names

[Donald Noble]

Hi All,

Something to perhaps discuss in the pub on Tuesday, but I'll raise it here
too.

There are a number of instances on the map where buildings have been split
into separate parts, which is great for adding details like roof heights,
start dates, etc. BUT… where this has a single name, or is all one church,
for example, the rendering gets very messy. I know we should not tag for
the renderer, but also there should only be one OSM object for each real
object. Not sure what the best way forward here is…

Some examples:
German Church in Marchmont  -

Lothian Bus Depot in Broughton -
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/55.96087/-3.18726&layers=N

Meadowbank Colonies - which I changed as a result of a note from
SomeoneElse about the messy rendering -

Cheers, Donald
