Even though it's possible that in US usage an ice cream parlour may also include a kiosk (Wikipedia says it does, but Wikipedia can be wrong). British English usage of "parlour" implies a room where people sit. I would not be claiming that shop=ice_cream_kiosk and > amenity=ice_cream_parlour > have no clear differences, > Again we agree. These are functionally different. On a hot, rainy day I might contemplate visiting an ice cream parlour but not an ice cream kiosk. but we have shop=ice_cream and amenity=ice_cream > I don't expect to be able to go into a supermarket, buy a pack of pork pies and eat them inside the store. Nor would I expect that to be true of shop=ice_cream, with or without building=kiosk. I don't see any need to invent shop=ice_cream_kiosk when we already have shop=ice_cream. I also see a clear parallel between amenity=bar and amenity=ice_cream: go in, sit down and consume (there may be an option to purchase to take out). Shops sell things that you normally take outside of the shop to make use of. Amenities are places you go to do things, which may involve purchasing and using a product. I don't think shop=ice_cream and amenity=ice_cream are intrinsically wrong or misleading. So we have shop=ice_cream and amenity=ice_cream that may not always have been used consistently and are currently documented in a way that encourages inconsistent usage. Do we fix the documentation, or invent new tags, or have a single tag that could mean either type of faciiity? I'd go with fixing the documentation. -- Paul
