I don't like the "in some countries" stuff. OSM is not organised by 
countries.

I suggest:

place=farm - use this for residential areas smaller than a hamlet, 
unless you think that place=isolated_dwelling is more appropriate

place=isolated_dwelling - use this for residential areas smaller than a 
hamlet, unless you think that place=farm is more appropriate

You may also use landuse=residential for residential areas or 
landuse=farmyard for farm yards. If someone lives on the farm, either 
tag place=farm and landuse=residential, or use place=isolated_dwelling 
and landuse=farmyard.

I'm not entirely serious about this. But a little.

Bye
Frederik
