Tags on additional objects

to tag the whole construction area, which is generally bigger than the building outline(s), and create new, separate objects for the under-construction buildings with this tag.
Nodes
As with many other tag such as building=*
or landuse=cemetery
mapping such features as areas is highly preferable. But in some cases one may be able to mark location of a construction site but unable to mark its area.
