I think you mean the validator warning regarding "width" keyword.

Please give us more info, I don't understand what your problem is. Your .osm file and a screenshot would be useful.

He uses "width" for a building. I think we have a validator warning which warns in case it is not a street.

Yes, I also get this warning with barriers (e.g. gate,wall,entrance).

ok :)
Looking at taginfo, the physical keys used with width are:

1. highway (693 270)
2. waterway (36 775)
3. cycleway (5 217)
4. embankment (3 694)
5. railway (3 429)
6. footway (2853)
7. barrier (2299)
8. aeroway (2 234)

I don't see any sense in setting width for building as it is not a linear feature. There is only 270 occurences of building with width.

+1

For a closed way the information should be in the geometry and no tags are needed.

Back to linear features. Following features can be used on ways with width:

• man_made: breakwater,cutline,embankment,pier,pipeline
• barrier: city_wall,ditch,hedge,wall

I am not sure about some barriers on nodes, as normaly maxwidth is used but there could be a difference between the allowed width and the real width.

In 5917/josm:

fix #8648 - Allow more linear features for width warning
