Ah, Wikipedia, that well known internationally agreed source of definitions
for words ;-) I forgot that we need to slavishly follow anything we spot in
Wikipedia or that other well-worn blind alley one's online dictionary of
choice.

As I wrote on the wiki, we have separate amenity values for bar, pub and
nightclub instead of amenity=drinking_establishment; we have shop values for
butcher, baker and grocer instead of a generic shop=food followed by a
sub-tag to define the type of food. There is no rule that says, because art
galleries are often considered a sort of museum, we must relegate "art
gallery" to a sub-type of culture=museum.

There is no problem with culture=museum, and since a great many art
galleries don't describe themselves as museums it would be worse to make
everyone use culture=museum plus some sub-tags.


well, not sure for nightclub if it is well placed in culture. We could

Well pubs and bars do probably belong in amenity. Nightclubs are
comparatively unimportant places where we go to dance and listen to music,
which fits my definition of culture!
