Healthcare itself is generally with values like doctor, hospital, laboratory and clinic. Some values that are far more specific like speech_therapist seem to have crept in that might be better as specialities. I'd say the facilities offering headlice removal and nothing else are as much clinics as are podiatrists.

There are no guarantees Mapnik will not change. There are no guarantees other renderers will do the same thing. If you apply two top-level tags to the same object different renderers may handle it differently.

In all the cases I can think of, that is the case, but there may be exceptions. However, I do think that a hairdresser offering head louse removal is primarily a hairdresser, not a clinic. But since I've never had head lice and haven't had my hair cut in over 20 years, I may be missing some nuances here. > Seems like if someone still used both tags, the shop tag should have a > higher priority.
