I got a question about religious tags.

There is amenity=place_of_worship (1) for church, temple, mosque,
synagogue... (adding the religion and denomination if needed)

For convent, monestary and generally religious place but not open to the
public there is no "official" tag. I just found a proposition (2) to tag
building=convent, building=monastery, buiding=seminary and even a
building=church (?)...
There is also a historic=monastery (3) but it seems to apply only to old
monastery not used nowday...

Do i miss something or is there other tag ?
