I would use a different main tag for shipping trade and couriers. There's a lot 
of shipping going on via cargo trains, ships (container, tanker, etc.), air 
freight and trucks, as well as special transports (heavy/bulky industrial 
goods/machinery, etc.), and it wouldn't be helpful to mix these with the 
courier business where you can ship letters or parcels or other small items. If 
we did it, you'd have to look at the subtags and completely forget about the 
courier tag because it would have all kinds of quite different (for the 
customer) companies/businesses crammed inside which alone would become 
meaningless. It would be like tagging a convenience store and an internet mail 
order with the same main tag.


cheers,
Martin
