Hi, I don't have a general preference about the format, but I think it should be possible to express several things to rent (buy/repair etc.) and it should be easily be possible to filter for all these items (regardless whether it's a shop/hotel/farm).
So the format should be flexible enough to allow this. I think it's easier to read (for humans) when the "subject" is in front, so all the related characteristics are "listed". There are several existing namespaces using this format : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr#Commonly_used_subkeys https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:social_facility:for https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:generator:output https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:parking:lane#Examples An example for the underscore format : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seamarks/Seamark_Objects The current namespace article doesn't mention underscores : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Namespace#Example_namespace_uses The amenity=* version is IMHO the worst possibility (in case of several "amenities") as you could just work with semicolon separator, which isn't recommended : https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Semi-colon_value_separator#When_NOT_to_use I think this is an overcome way to express simple things from a time when POIs weren't in focus (which meanwhile changes with OsmAnd, maps.me, komoot and other popular apps which allow to use the data not only for pure navigation).
