We tend to call shops where mainly bread is sold, bread stores; but I would still look under bakery in the business directory for one. Here confectionery shops are more likely to sell something like nuts or dried fruit with chocolates and/or candy than they are to sell pastries. The few that do mix candy and pastries are also likely to offer cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. > Rather than push for shop=pastry it makes more sense to change the text on the wiki to expand what bakery stands for (and remove pastries from the description of the confectionery).
I agree with you, for me do the value "bakery" well mean more than just bread. I am myself not comfortable with the word confectionary, but if it is a usual english word I guess that could be used for everything selling candy and all kinds of sweet things. If I only had bakery and confectionary to choose from. I would put pastry shops (and viennoiseries/konditorei/pâtisserie) as bakeries. Chocolatiers, fudge boilers, nougat/marcipan-producers and makers of turkish delights I would put as confectionary. So let us expand the meaning of shop=bakery and put the pastry-part of confectionaries as an (could also have..) p.s. and if there is interest I guess one then could proceed and distinguish pastry shops as bread-less bakeries. d.s. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
