OSM needs to provide for objects that fall under more than one category,

ground truth that objects fit into more than one category.
Yeah. It's ridiculous. I was surveying a week ago and there was a shop
that sells coffee AND tea. So what then? There's shop=coffee, and
shop=tea. Whoever invented these tags wasn't a far-sighted person.
shop=tea; coffee
The 'problem' is there is no wiki page explaining how to combine values.
And no explanation as to the overall concept of OSM tagging scheme.
