This might have been discussed here a while ago?
If you check the wiki pages, with history and comments, there are the following
things to observe:
- shop was apparently in use before the concept of craft=* came up, this
explains the higher number
- there is a semantic difference:
'craft' clearly describes the place where the suit/dress is made.
'shop' can mean different things. There are places where the customer is just measured, and the
actual tailoring is done in a place with cheaper labour cost
'shop' could also mean tailoring-supplies (or is there a different tag for
it?)
Some people also distinguish making a new dress, vs. doing minor alterations (shortening the legs,
small repairs).

“tailor” sounds very much like a craft to me.
On the other hand, it’s hard to argue with 10000 tagged objects.
From the title of the issue, I assume that craft wasn’t being rendered before? Which might very
well explain why everyone used shop to tag it…

Should we support both or just one(if so which?)
