No objections to that as an incremental improvement, but I am tempted to
say that building=yes without name= should not show up. In Mass we have
MassGIS building footprint ways for every house, and it's basically
clutter on the garmin display and seems to slow down map rendering.
It's very cool this data is in OSM, but I don't find it helpful when
navigating.

i find building REALLY usefull when navigation. When you are not in car, but going by foot it's really usefull information.

Or perhaps unnamed buildings should be shown only when POIs are shown.
A random building outline seems far less important than a restaurant
POI.

sorry, but disagree.
