IMHO a shop is a shop because it is officially commercial space (and not residential), it has a separate entrance (usually from the street), it has appropriate windows, etc. Of course there might be exceptions, but I think you get it. > Otherwise it will show up on applications / renderers that show anything > tagged as shop=* with a shop icon. that might be the problem of these applications but they could filter vacant if they don't like it. > ie use a separate namespace, so tag it something like disused:shop=yes > Then it can be easily ignored by applications that just want to show > currently existing shops, or rendered differently etc. that's a good idea as well, and very versatile. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
