As part of the shop=bakery,bread_bakery,confectionery proposal voting, several have commented that the diet:<diet_type>=* tag should be used instead of <diet_type>=* tag (e.g., diet:gluten_free=* instead of gluten_free=*. Since the diet:<diet_type> did previously pass a formal vote, I'm inclined to listen but the case would be more convincing if the amenity=restaurant didn't list gluten_free=*, lactose_free=*, organic=* (as well as the diet=* tag) and if the diet=* web page listed diet:lactose_free and diet:organic as options. The restaurant page may explain why gluten_free=* is used more than diet:gluten_free=* in OSM (52 vs. 35).
Is organic part of the diet: tag or does it stand alone? If tags are added to diet=*, I believe lactose_free is in common use whereas lacto_free is not so much. Also consider that a product made with lactose removed dairy would accurately be lactose_free but not lacto_free. Lactose content, not dairy origin, is the important tag for those with lactose intolerance. Is Lactofree being a brand name any reason to avoid likenesses (lacto_free) in OSM tags? I've got my hands full with my proposal (and Colorado fire area mapping), so someone else should straighten out use of the diet: tag on the wiki. Murry
