I have created a draft for the tag 'sells'.
This an attempt to subvert the present creation of other tag/s (by
stealth) that, in my view, can be much better.

Comments here please.
-----------------------
Proposal
A tag to indicate what a shop sells with some detail.
Rationale
Presently people are add uncoordinated sub tags for each type of shop.
The first thing that is being identified are the items sold by the shop.
It would be better to have a sub tag that can be used under any shop
type that uses the same system. It is also beneficial in that a
'general_store' can than use that same system, making searches easier?
The word 'sells' is chosen to reflect the intended use without any
confusion. The word 'sale' implies a single event over a limited time
with reduced priced.
Examples
sells:motorcycle:yamaha=yes
sells:motorcycle:honda=yes
sells:bread:wholemeal=yes
sells:bread:sourdough=yes
sells:bread:tip_top=yes
sells:cloths:children=yes
This saves individual solution for each type of shop as is presently
being propagated e.g.;
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:clothes
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dtobacco
and there are, as yet, undocumented but placed in JOSM presets, tags for
motorcycles!
