[OSM-talk] Voting for place=isolated_dwelling is open

[John F. Eldredge]

Since the English language defines a dwelling as a place where someone dwells, I suspect that the UK government is using the term to mean structures used as residences.  The proposed tag, on the other hand, would classify any isolated building as an isolated_dwelling, even if it isn't a dwelling.
