I'd actually prefer something like shop=donut to cafe, since it seems that donut places are largely buy-something-and-take it with you, but that may be my own bias. Then again, there are certain lines of work who use donut shops as places to sit/eat/talk (no that's not bias - I've known and spent time at them with cops :) ). >I think most >people would agree that both are close to the line but that splitting it >there is at least reasonable.
