I actually tend to agree. But to address my concern. the definition of
duty_free=yes will have to be far less absolute. Phrases like "all
passengers" could be replaced with "passengers" or "qualifying
passengers" for example (but not "international passengers"). To me, the
way a tag is defined is actually more important than the word that is
used in the tag.
As an aside, I saw some support for shop=duty_free. This is an abuse of
shop=* and cannot be allowed! Shop=* indicates what is sold there, not
fiscal arrangements. You can buy duty-free (tobacco, alcohol, perfume
etc) but also tax-free electronics, cameras etc. I suppose one could
nit-pick about the difference between tax and duty but that is probably
not relevant to the average user.
