Does OSM want to be a directory ?

A shop is a discrete entity - quite the consensual POI. A single tenant
building ? Same. But what about a 50 levels high-rise building with 67
tenants ? Should they all appear on OSM ? In my opinion, no : the
building should be tagged with its address and its building name, but
the tenants belong to a third-party directory that may or may not
position them on a map according to their address.

Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it... So far the
problem was soliciting contributions - soon it will be geospam.

Damn - I just find that I am not the inventor of the word 'geospam' !

cc: talk at osm because I feel that this issue has implications beyond tagging.
