If you can generate a custom rendering of a particular
geographical area, opening (and closing) hours could be useful.
For example, if you are scheduling an all-day business meeting
that includes a lunch break, it would be useful to give attendees
a map that showed all restaurants that are within a certain radius
from the meeting, and would be open at lunchtime.
Ideally yes - but keep in mind that not all amenities are mapped, and
not a lot (<-- euphemism) of them have the opening hours. Of course,
this shouldn't stop us from thinking about tagging that.
Well...
1) a restaurant owner that complains about being ignored here may add
his own restaurant (and the opening hours himself)
2) arguing with incomplete data in osm is valid for practical reasons in
the (data) users point of view, but IMHO not valid as an argument for
tagging opening hours. Suggest a company maintaining e.g. business
meetings regularly, this company could maintain the opening hours in osm
to make that data useable.
Therefore: keep that in mind if you think about relying on osm opening
hours data for an application like that, but don't omit opening hours in
future because there won't be applications in that field due to
incomplete data.
