This, and already the existing tagging for restaurant cuisine have a basic flaw. They only work in a few countries of the West. If you think about it, most likely al restaurants in China would have to have cuisine=chinese, or all grocery stores in Marocco would have to be labelled convenience=north_african or whatever. Basically you want to label restaurants/shops only if they offer something different from what's the typical local fare.
I have no proposal, I am just observing.
