Yes, sewing and knitting aren't all that related. In California, we have what are often known as "Vac-and-Sew" shops which sell (not necessarily all of) vacuum cleaners and their supplies (hoses, attachments, nozzles, refill bags...), sewing supplies and maybe sewing machines, sometimes fabric, sometimes yarn and knitting supplies. Some of them offer classes in these endeavors, as well, in which case, they are more than a shop=*, they are a sort of school=*. (Or "artist-oriented classroom," like a pottery studio which teaches how to use pottery wheels and might offer clay, glazes, other related supplies and even kiln-space "rental").
My point is that these are all different. The long-standing OSM tenet of "tag, tag well" (or "tag your best") continues to apply. While I have all due respect for wiki-authors who do great work of categorizing these things, at best these can only be considered as guidelines, rather than hard-and-fast tagging "requirements." Yes, in OSM, (as "Street" is our middle name), in some cases, as with motorways, a highway=motorway is a highway=motorway pretty much the world over. (Because we say so, we define what we mean by that). With shops and art-related endeavors, there is much, much more variability, and I doubt we'll ever reach consensus what "best" or "perfect" strategies are. So, the best we can do is continue to offer "tag your best" and "tag well" as ongoing strategies. Sure, discuss further if more can be "wrung out" of such discussions, but realize that perfection may never be achieved. As long as "tag your best" and "one feature, one tag" continue, I think we're in good shape. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
