Well, we did not imply that strict interpretation when inventing the trade tag. We explicitly stated that most of such places also accepted ordinary retail customers. While I agree that a small minority of such places (in the UK at least) do enforce such a strict policy, it is rare. If we had intended such, indeed we would have proposed something like access=trade. That is not what we did. So no, that is not what trade means here. > As for tagging, I would propose shop=*, access=trade/public although > the default of public would be assumed if no tag. Yes, you can have that as well, although using the same trade keyword is surely a potential source of confusion. ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
