A thesaurus didn't throw up anything compelling. Instead I became
convinced that the best subtag is actually "merchant".
shop=merchant
merchant = timber|building-supplies|agricultural|garden|...

How is that better than shop=supplies, all shop keepers are merchants
whom sells supplies (or services)...

Tagging opens a door for participation; it has also been acknowledge the
symbiosis between tagging and ontologies, how is tagging in
openstreetmap.org making use of semantics? how is tagging in

Now there is a good trend to use colon in key names. Maybe we should
move these tags below?
int_name -> name:international
nat_name -> name:national
reg_name -> name:regional
loc_name -> name:local
old_name -> name:old
alt_name -> name:alt or name:alternative
official_name -> name:official

Does openstreetmap use the ISO 639-2 codes? It looks to me like it uses
ISO 639-1.

As was pointed out recently in the thread about *_link tagging: If you want to
change something about existing widely used tags you have to provide a
compelling reason.
So what problem are you trying to solve with this tag renaming?
You mention that then we can have tags like: name:official:de.

actually I do think that "looks better" is a good reason. It follows
some logics that makes mapping easier for everybody.

I just wanted to say that names like 'loc' or 'nat' are bit enigmatic.

You haven't really explained what was so wrong with shop=supplies,
considering it's intended to be only used with a subtag giving it
context it seems perfectly fine to me.

While I agree with using colons for this, rather than underscores, I
don't think it would be good to use 2 or 3 letter abbreviations, as
others
