An industrial location is often more than just the building. The yards often form an integral part of the operations and it is often more appropriate to draw a way around the entire site with landuse=industrial industrial=* and then tag the buildings in the site with building=* (e.g. building=warehouse). It is preferable to using overly specific landuse values (like landuse=mine, landuse=port) as it makes easier to process and interpret data at the same time allowing for more specific tagging and processing of data.

Tagging as area is always preferable but tagging as nodes may be temporarily used (and changed into tagging into areas as soon as possible).
