I like the idea of fast tracking some of these, but here's an even quicker way... 1. Put the list of shop and sport values in the database on the wiki; 2. Allow people to explain non-obvious values, merge similar values, and highlight contentious values; 3. Fast track all of the non-contentious values into the approved features list, and submit the contentious values as proposed features for further discussion; 4. Provide a list of nodes/ways in the database that still use merged or otherwise amended values for people to fix. What do you think?
