There are some points I would like to comment on:

- 
OpenStreetMap is not a property registry, thus do not map individual ownership of buildings or plots. There is no need to split residential landuse into individual plots. (Compare Parcel.)


Yes, we do not map individual ownership of land and buildings generally, but unless the owner is a person, we could and privacy regulations would not prevent us from doing it. It also isn’t an argument for refraining from mapping property divisions, because these are interesting regardless of _who_ is the owner


“some structure of a semi-public garden appear to be the borderline of being acceptable.“

IMHO exaggerated, semi-public objects can be mapped in all detail and aren’t borderline cases

Well, at least according to my understanding of the term semi-public


Cheers Martin
