These could become attributes... Maybe we should also have an attribute to say something like style=discounter Or a scheme for ware groups, e.g. newspapers, electronics, gardening stuff, stationery, pharmaceutical products... A lot of the details are country specific, partly due to the legal situation but more due to cultural differences. This is a big problem because most mappers will not even be aware of it and although it would be useful for ignorant tourists they will hardly be willing to add a lot of tags for details they take for granted ;-) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
