Maybe some fast foods could qualify as restaurants while others don't? Generally I'd tend to say no, but I'd also guess that there are some edge cases. IMHO the great invention of OSM is that it isn't based on an ontology but on free tagging. The world is too complex (and dynamic) to be entirely described by an ontology. It seems appealing to try though, I admit, but it will always result in flattening complexity (and therefor detail and small but fine distinctions). cheers, Martin
