I have not found non-shops tagged as shop=ice_cream, have you? How many of
these would we have to provide in order to be sure it aren't exceptional
"errors" but standard way of tagging? You can find mistagged objects for
any kind of object.

FWIW, if we always redefine our tag definitions to the smallest common
meaning of the "general population of mappers", then discover that we have
tags that now mean the "exact same thing", we will wipe out all the
details. Looking at the key definitions to find out that a certain object
doesn't fit into the general scheme, is not something we should dismiss.
highway=ice_cream for ice cream vendors along a road isn't a good idea.
Similarly, shop=* for something that isn't a shop isn't a good idea either.

Cheers
Martin
