Maybe it's for developers that have public-facing offices to present their future projects and search for clients.

It could also mean a shop that sells tools and materials for doing some work (paper / wood / etc.). A shop that sells "building materials" is likely selling different stuff like mortar, bricks, cement, scaffolding, insulation material, drywall material, tiles, maybe metal pieces for junctions like screws, nails, consoles, maybe machinery, maybe rent machinery > > > craft > > I use this for shops selling coloured paper, glue, knitting supplies etc. > I'd call them stationery (well, if they sell knitting supplies and sewing stuff, etc. maybe yet another tag might make sense, "craft" is too generic to make sense IMHO). > > > discount > > I use shop=variety_store instead, but some mappers split the two > categories. > I agree that "discount" is not clear in meaning (could be a discout supermarket, a discount clothes shop, a kind of variety store or yet another kind of shop) > > > energy > > Likely used for public-facing offices of energy suppliers, especially > in countries where there is a free energy market so people might > actually be 'shopping' for an energy provider. > +1, that's also what I think.

I'd discourage use of this tag and propose to use an attribute instead (e.g. rental=yes/no/only) together with a tag that says what's the product. > > salon > > Lesser used alternative of shop=hairdresser. > also unclear, should be discouraged > > > shoe_repair > > Lesser used alternative of shop=shoemaker. > literally there's a difference, practically likely not. > > appliance - wiki redirects to electronics, so maybe deprecate and propose > > electronics instead? > > Agree. > there's a difference between electronics and appliances. I wouldn't see washing machines, dish washers, fridges, electric heating, but also smaller stuff like flattening irons, hairdryers, blenders, toasters, microwaves, electrical toothbrushs, you name it, as electronics even if nowadays they might include a fair amount of electronic components. > > > communication - wiki redirects to mobile_phone, so maybe deprecate and > > propose mobile_phone? > > No, shop=communication is used for places where you can go to and call > abroad cheaply.
