Amigos, I no longer feel this proposal is appropriate, therefore I'm canceling it. Thanks for all your comments. I am creating another proposal to describe the serving system of a restaurant. It is based on all_you_can_eat:type from this proposal, which I found to be quite interesting when used

When you say no longer appropriate, do you mean to say the all_you_can_eat idea is not appropriate, or that working through the approval procedure got bogged down? ;-) I feel the idea is not appropriate, at least not to my initial needs. I started this proposal to be able to tag some buffets

I'm not sure I understood everything you said, John, specially about interval. Would you update your proposal and send it to us the way you think it should be? I suggested serving system because that's how Wikipedia describes it. I think I know English well, but since I'm not a native speaker,

So now, what's the difference in /serving style/ between rodizio and dim sum? I never went to a restaurant with *dim sum*, but reading about it on wikipedia, I would say the differences are: In a rodízio, the waiters go around offering food, and don't leave food on a table unless requested by

The problem with cuisine=all_you_can_eat is that All you can eat is a pricing scheme, not a cuisine. This would prevent tagging with the actual cuisine, such as cuisine=Chinese or cuisine=Mediterranean. +1 cuisine=* should be reserved for the actual type of food, not the pricing/serving

I sincerely don't think it's length is a problem. There are longer accepted tags(like parking:condition:right:time_interval), and to shorten it would make it harder to remember and recognize (i.e. humans would be the ones paying the price). Tags like addr:* and ele are okay to abbreviate because
