Is ignoring what the community did so far, a guideline ? People have used the tag boutique. So why cannot we take this practice and use that as the guideline ? Why change the currently used tags, causing a cost of all involved parties ?
But forget about that for a moment. What are the criteria/formula/checklist one has to use to decide whether 2 different tags are appropriate or when a subtag has to be used. Can you and Jean-Marc give me those ? Can we apply this criteria/formula/checklist to the following group of tags and see whether the have to be changed into subtags ? shop=clothes, boutique shop=supermarket, deli, convenience man_made/power=tower, mast, pole, flag_pole building=residential, house, semi-detached, apartment, villa shop=car, car_repair, car_parts, tire * is having a wikipedia page in 10 or more languages a criteria ? apparently no * is having a large number of objects tagged like that in OSM a criteria ? apparently no * is knowing how many people have searched for each of those individual items a criteria ? Don't know, wouldn't know how we can count that. This is a serious question. I want to understand why people think the about differences are ok, but clothes and boutique not. regards m.
