If we have to change these themes "every few years" it is likely long enough to be considered mappable in principle. In Italy the only places that get the amenity=pub tags, are Irish or British pubs (i.e. places that call themselves with English names and usually carrying "pub" in the name, and typically selling British/Irish beer and burgers / chips), so there is no big need to make distinctions within the group of objects with this tag (well, unless you care for/can define the distinction between Irish and British pubs), but for example in Germany, where there is a local culture of similar places, and the community has agreed on using amenity=pub for them, it would seem more interesting to distinguish the style/theme. Generally, I believe it could make sense to have a standardized way, to refer to cultures (maybe language-ISO codes?) or (unambiguos to tag and suitable for e.g. Irish/British-differentiation) countries (ISO codes) if it plays a role in the appearance / kind of things they serve, of the place. On the other hand, similarities may be much more regional than national (e.g. Austrian and Bavarian could be seen as more similar than Bavarian and Prussian). Somehow there is already "cuisine" which does this job (but is focused on food, and has the problem that is one tag for many things, e.g. "italian", "pizza", "seafood", aren't mutually exclusive terms, how would you tag a French fish restaurant in Germany with just cuisine, etc. ). So while it may not be universally useful, I can see a series of cases where it would provide useful information. Cheers Martin
