<on soapbox> <sarcasm on> You forgot to merge shop=jewelry with shop=clothes (*)
Maybe the next tags we can merge are shop=car, bicycle, truck, motorcycle, car_repair, car_parts, tires. After all they are all vehicle related. something like shop=vehicle; vehicle:type=car; ... perhaps ? <sarcasm off> Do we really want to merge shop=clothes with shop=shoe ? All editors have to be adapted, data consumers will have to support both tagging methods for quite some time, validators need to be adapted. And what do we gain ? That a data consumer that does not want to differentiate between the two, only has to use 1 query to get both types of shops ? Or is it because some shops sell both ? I can understand that would have been an issue if you got lot's of questions and complaints about shop=clothes; shoes; boutique & fashion. But I haven't seen it brought up before. And yes, I too have problems to distinguish between boutique & fashion. But I'm not expert. But I do see the difference between shoe and clothes in most cases. And of course there will be shops that sell both, that is because the world is not black & white. Whatever classification (tags) you choose, there will be exceptions. I think this mailing should focus more on what cannot be mapped yet and on unsettled issues such as multi-valued values, proper tags for unpaved roads in developing countries, landuse vs. landcover, etc.; rather that merging 2 shop types. <off soapbox> regards m.
