It's also nice to keep things a bit simple in OSM, because all records in the database need correct input and maintenance. I'm already seeing a lot of confusion on petrol stations. Where I just want to find the nearest fuel station (yes, I would like to have 99% coverage of amenity=fuel in OSM worldwide) the next thing is already less important: 'is it a Shell or an Esso, or ...'. There's not one way, but three to put Shell/Esso in: name, brand, operator. I see them mixed up already. Please no extra confusing tags with are hard to maintain and to explain.
