I believe retail=cafe|restaurant|... would become too polluted. We risk
creating another amenity= or highway=. From en.wiki:
Retail consists of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location,
such as a department store, boutique or kiosk, or by mail, in small or
individual lots for direct consumption by the purchaser.
I'd say +1 to retail=food and food=cafe|restaurant|... though. Still, I believe
"food" is not enough wide; we also have places where they primarily sell drinks
(bar and biergarten come to mind). Unless we don't want to move them under this
new hierarchy, that is.

I agree with this.
