Other applications already have their own translation tables if they are
taking OSM data. I was just looking at osm2navit recently for this very
issue, because nodes marked as amenity=school were rendering, but areas
were not. It will be the same with all the rest of the other software.
I think cleaning up the categorization is a good idea, but this isn't a
good justification for it.
