A proposal for improving the current misleading definitions and misuse of bakery and confectionery; and a requested separation of bread bakeries from bakeries of other bakery goods, is now open for voting.
The current wiki pages do not follow current British definitions and usage of the words (see Oxford British Dictionary, HM Revenue & Customs, common .U.K. web usage, etc). They are also counter to definition and common usage in other English speaking nations (U.S., Canada, Australia). This results in confused use of the tags. See the Rationale section and talk page for further discussion and documentation of the problem. The proposal title is shop=bakery,bread_bakery,confectionery, but somehow was put as a "Proposal/bread bakery" directory and is found under "S" in the index as "Proposal/bread bakery". :-) The link to the proposal page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal/bread_bakery The proposal came about from a discussion on the Tagging mailing list, that thread may be found at: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2013-June/013630.html Please read the thread for information on how the proposal go to its current form. Please check the proposal talk page (discussion tab) for issues that came up during the comment period. Kudos belong to those who participated in the discussion for shaping and adding ideas to what is the current proposal. Thank you fellow mappers! Murry (user CS Mur)
